- Brief Summary
The objective of the project is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of a gamifield mHealth application (iGAME) and developed in the context of lifestyle modification, but with the approach of the Behaviour Change Technique, through a randomized clinical trial that affects secondary prevention in three clinical subtypes of noncommunicable diseases, where lifestyle modification is the center of its best practice.
- Detailed Description
Despite digital exposure, gamification of health has been widely understood and often applied ad hoc in health products. Attempts to incorporate game concepts into digital health applications have not led to demonstrated success. Recent studies have shown that only 4% of the best rated health apps in Apple stores and Google Play (based on revenue and download) have gamification elements, but less than 5% of these health apps have been included in the application library of National Health Service. In addition, very little of 5% was developed for industry and health professionals.
If the power of digital technologies, such as games for clear clinical benefits, is not released, opportunities for social and economic burial will be lost for all stakeholders in the digital health and digital economy ecosystem.
A number of factors in this barrier:
* The best techniques for the design of activities. The majority of health gamification has little consistent support of health or clinical theories.
* The high cost and complexity of the digital game development process. The majority of gaming functions are based on best practices in the development of digital games.
* Little participation of researchers in health, professionals and participation of the end user in the process of gamification development. Very little health gamification is formally evaluated clinically.
The initial hypothesis is that after 12 weeks of participation in the original iGAME application, participants will increase the quantity and distribution of energy consumption, through the estimation of results, data based on acceleration and questionnaires. automatic information In addition, it will also improve satisfaction and lifestyle, as well as the consumption of health services.

Group Intervention Description Intervention: digital intervention Behaviour Change Technique Digital intervention The assigned participants will receive an intervention based on gamification and the use of behavior change techniques to reduce sedentary lifestyle. Thus, a new mobile application will be used for 12 weeks that proposes to the user the realization of activities with the aim of reducing their sedentary behavior. The development of the application is based on previous analyzes that propose 6 clusters that encompass 33 factors that influence sedentary behavior. In this way, the application is designed to act on the two accessible: social support and behavior. On the social support, he proposes to the user to share his achievements in social networks or in an internal network of game users. In terms of habit modification, behavior modification strategies proposed in the Michie et al. (2013) taxonomy are applied, such as the following: establishment of personalized goals, rewards and reminders, awareness of achievements achieved, among others
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) Change from baseline amount of physical activity at 3 months Patient reported outcome: Physical activity related to a person's health
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS). Oncology breast survivors subgroup Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. Patient reported outcome:Questionnaire designed to evaluate cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors. Composed of 22 numerically scaled, "0" to "10" items that measure four dimensions of subjective fatigue: behavioral/severity, affective meaning, sensory and cognitive/mood. To calculate the total fatigue score, add the 22-item scores together and divide by 22 in order to keep the score on the same numeric "0" to "10" scale. Severity codes: 0 none, 1-3 mild, 4-6 moderate, 7-10 severe.
Fear-avoidance Components Scale (FACS). Oncology breast survivors subgroup Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. Patient reported outcome: quantification of existing fear-avoidance components in patients with medical conditions associated with pain. 20 question related to painful medical condition. 5 = Completely Agree 4 = Mostly Agree 3 = Slightly Agree 2 = Slightly Disagree 1 = Mostly Disagree0 = Completely Disagree. Higher values represent a worse outcome.
MINI Interview. Depression Subgroup. Baseline Brief structured diagnostic interview to generate diagnoses DSM-IV and ICD-10
International Sedentary Assessment Tool (ISAT) Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. Patient reported outcome. It is an evaluation of sedentary behavior. An alternative way to the use of accelerometry for the calculation of energy consumption.
MedRisk Instrument for Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Physical Therapy Care (MRPS) Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. Patient reported outcome: tool designed to assess patient satisfaction with physiotherapy care through intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The instrument consists of 10 specific items and 2 global items scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The means of items 1 through 3 and 4 through 10 are calculated to determine the mean score for external and internal subscales, respectively. Total score from 0 (worst patient satisfaction) to 5 (best patient satisfaction).
Rolland-Morris Questionnaire (RMQ). Low back pain subgroup Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. patient reported outcome. Assessment the degree of physical disability related to non-specific low back pain, understanding physical disability as limitation in the performance of activities of daily life.
Spine Functional Index (SFI). Low back pain subgroup Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. Patient reported outcome.Assessment the functionality of the column as a whole
European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (Euroqol-5D, EQ-5D) Five measures will be carried out. 1st the beginning of the study. 2nd measurement after 1.5 months. 3rd measurement 3 months from the beginning. 4th measure 6 months from the beginning. 5th measure: 12 months from the begin. Patient reported outcome. Health index that relates quantity and quality of life. It is applied with a short questionnaire and a visual analogue scale. Each dimension is rated in five levels from 1 ("I have no problem with...") to 5 ("I am unable to..."). Each participant indicates the level that best reflects their state for each of the five dimensions, with which their health status is described by five digits that take values from 1 to 5, with health status 11111 being considered a priori the best state of health and 55555 the worst state of health. The visual analogue scale is scored from 0 (without pain) to 100 (worst pain).
