简要总结
A smartphone app will be installed on smartphones of patients with type 2 diabetes or hematologic malignancies that do not exercise. The app will send SMS messages to encourage exercise. The exercise will be quantified by the smartphone accelerometer and clinical data, including HbA1c will be collected.
详细描述
The aim of the study is to increase patients' physical activities by using a dedicated cellular application that will encourage patients to adhere to their doctor recommendation on a personal basis.
Primary outcome In diabetic patients: measuring an increase in daily physical activity In cancer patients: improvement of quality of life in correlation with the level of physical activity
Secondary outcomes In diabetic patients: improved glycemic control as assessed by sequential blood tests for HbA1c.
The patients will fill quality of life questionnaires (SF36) at recruitment and after 6 months. After 6 months the patients will also fill a questionnaire about their experience of using the app.
Each recruited patient will have an Android based smart phone. Each patient will provide:
