Technology Assisted Physical Activity Among Hospitalised Patients With Respiratory Disease

Technology Assisted Physical Activity Among Hospitalised Patients With Respiratory Disease - a Controlled Cohort Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 96 (actual)
• Sponsor: Marius Henriksen · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

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.

Conditions

• Respiratory Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Visual feedback of physical activity	A monitor (tablet) will display the level of physical activity during hospitalisation. The monitor will be placed at the bedside (table).
DEVICE	No feedback of physical activity	There will be no visual feedback of the physical activity (no monitor placed at the bedside (table)).
DEVICE	Measurement of physical activity	A pair of accelerometers placed on the chest and on the thigh will measure the physical activity level during hospitalisation. The measurement is made continuously and stored on a secure web-server.
