Technology Assisted Physical Activity Among Hospitalised Patients With Respiratory Disease

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Respiratory Disease
• Interventions: Device: Visual feedback of physical activity; Device: No feedback of physical activity; Device: Measurement of physical activity

• Registration Number: NCT03333850
• Lead Sponsor: Marius Henriksen

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple feedback about physical activities from a mobile device.

Physical activity is measured by means of a pair of accelerometers embedded in band aids placed on the thigh and on the chest. The measurement is continuous and data is uploaded to a secure internet-server. Summaries of physical activity (bedrest, sitting, standing, walking) is computed and can be displayed on a mobile device (tablet) through a dedicated application.

The study will be conducted as a controlled cohort study in a large tertiary public hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark. Patients admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine will be included and will have their physical activity measured during hospitalisation. Half of the cohort will receive visual feedback about the amount of physical activity from a mobile device placed on the bed table.

A total of 108 patients will be included resulting in 6 periods of 18 patients each.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Visual feedback of physical activity	Visual feedback of physical activity	Participants in the exposure cohort will receive usual hospital care and continuous measurement of physical activity by sensors collecting physical activity level during hospitalisation AND a monitor placed at their bedside that displays information about their physical activity level, in terms of time spent bedridden, sitting, standing and walking. This information will be visible to the health personnel, the patients and their relatives.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time spent out of bed during hospitalisation	7 Days	Time (in minutes) spent out of bed measured in minutes related to the total hospitalisation time. The time spent out of bed will be recorded throughout the hospitalisation for a maximum of 7 days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time spent standing during hospitalisation	7 Days	Time (in minutes) spent standing related to the total hospitalisation time. The time standing will be recorded throughout the hospitalisation for a maximum of 7 days.
Time spent sitting during hospitalisation	7 Days	Time (in minutes) spent sitting related to the total hospitalisation time. The time sitting will be recorded throughout the hospitalisation for a maximum of 7 days.
Time spent walking during hospitalisation	7 Days	Time (in minutes) spent walking related to the total hospitalisation time. The time walking will be recorded throughout the hospitalisation for a maximum of 7 days.
