About this study

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

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Visual feedback of physical activityDevice

    A monitor (tablet) will display the level of physical activity during hospitalisation. The monitor will be placed at the bedside (table).

  • No feedback of physical activityDevice

    There will be no visual feedback of the physical activity (no monitor placed at the bedside (table)).

  • Measurement of physical activityDevice

    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.

Study groups in NCT03333850
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Visual feedback of physical activityExperimentalParticipants 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.
Receives: Device: Visual feedback of physical activity; Device: Measurement of physical activity
No feedback of physical activityActive comparatorThe participants in the non-exposure cohort will receive usual hospital care and continuous measurement of physical activity by sensors collecting physical activity level during hospitalisation. No visual feedback is provided.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time spent out of bed during hospitalisation

    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.

    Measured: 7 Days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time spent sitting during hospitalisation

    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.

    Measured: 7 Days

  2. Time spent standing during hospitalisation

    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.

    Measured: 7 Days

  3. Time spent walking during hospitalisation

    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.

    Measured: 7 Days

Intervention model
Sequential
Model description
There will be sequential inclusion to each cohort. Each sequence includes 18 patients (corresponding to the number of beds at the department). Thus the patients hospitalised during the first period will receive feedback (exposed cohort). In the second period the patients will not receive feedback (non-exposed cohort), and so forth. A total of 108 patients will be included resulting in 6 periods of 18 patients each.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Visual feedback of physical activity, No feedback of physical activity and Measurement of physical activity in people with Respiratory Disease, run by Marius Henriksen at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time spent out of bed during hospitalisation (time frame: 7 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Dec 2018.
