- Lead Sponsor
- University of California, San Francisco
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test feasibility and acceptability of an online platform that uses mobile apps and videoconferencing tools to increase activity levels in mothers with young children.
- Detailed Description
The investigators are testing the feasibility and acceptability of a digital health platform using a randomized parallel wait-list control design for mothers with young children. The platform incorporates home based supportive group exercise sessions using video conferencing tools, shared online activity tracking and exercise mobile apps for individualized exercise routines will help mothers increase their physical activity levels and be successful at maintaining this increase.
The intervention arm consists of two main parts: home based video conferencing virtual exercise sessions and mobile exercise apps, which women use to tailor exercise routines to their own skill level and preferences. Both arms will receive an activity monitor that they collect continuous activity data throughout the study.

Group Intervention Description Virtual exercise and mobile apps Mobile apps Participants randomized to the intervention arm will join a virtual group convenient for them. They will plan and participate in 8 weeks (every week day) of virtual exercise sessions. Sessions will all be under 30 minutes and include a brief check in amongst participants. The investigators will provide links to information on physical activity and links to online resources for being active.
