Preliminary Findings Describing Participant Experience With iSTEP, an mHealth Intervention to Increase Physical Activity and Improve Neurocognitive Function in People Living With HIV

Abstract: We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using text messages to monitor and encourage physical activity in the first 21 participants enrolled in an ongoing randomized controlled trial evaluating a 16-week Short Message Service/Multimedia Message Service (SMS/MMS) intervention (iSTEP) designed to increase moderate physical activity and improve neurocognition in persons with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND; iSTEP, n = 11; control group, n = 10). Data were collected during the intervention a… Show more

“…However, our scoping review also uncovered that users may also be willing to accept having to put in some level of effort for self-tracking. It is also worth noting that other studies on usability of eHealth have indicated that a positive attitude exists concerning self-tracking [ 77 - 79 ], inclusion of praise [ 80 ], personalization of goals [ 80 , 81 ], the ability to observe progress [ 80 ], use of validity-tested devices [ 78 ], and that not everyone is concerned with privacy issues [ 82 ].…”

“…The healthcare providers, while emphasizing on the self-management of HIV/AIDS, state that the best practice in this program is to register patients’ information to manage their own conditions as much as possible ( 40 , 41 ). The mobile-based self-management system includes formal features designed to empower PLWH to record their health conditions and collaborate with health care providers.…”

“…One major problem with HIV condition management is ensuring PLWH treatment tracking including prevention/interventions programs, medication, and clinical checkups until finishing point. HIV positive people should be adherent to the medication regimens because the lack of timely administration of drugs leads to more resistance to the virus and therefore, the drugs should be prescribed in higher doses, which would increase the cost and side effects ( 40 ). Technical capabilities of a mobile-based self-management system can be very helpful by giving reminders and engaging patients in therapeutic activities ( 41 ).…”

“…For example, Moore et al (2017b) showed using ecological momentary assessment in a sample of middle-aged PLWH that 32% of their time was spent engaging in passive leisure activity (e.g., watching television) compared to only 5% of their time which was spent engaging in physical exercise. Given the links between neurocognition and physical activity in PLWH (Fazeli et al 2015;Fazeli et al 2014;McDermott et al 2017), more research is needed to see if interventions designed to increase physical activity (see Henry and Moore (2016) for an example) and improve diet may further reverse MetS components as well as the related-cognitive consequences.…”
