Connected Health Care in Exercise Program for Obesity
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Obesity, Physical Activity, Exercise
In brief
Many kinds of wearable technology have become available, but the superiority of those devices in weight loss compared to the standard care without them is uncertain. The possible problems are long-term self-motivation, utility and validity of the device, and outcome measures in clinical trials. The connected health care with motivational interviewing as an intervention, and body composition parameters in addition to body weight as outcome measures are employed in the project. The expected outcome is that connected health care, which is more individualized approach by heath care professionals, is more effective compared to self-monitoring using wearable devices. Two types of wearable device are going to be used to monitor 1) body activity and 2) heart rate variables during exercise which reflect fitness level in this study in order to investigate appropriate monitoring parameters to predict outcome measures. The hypothesis is that addition of connected health system will result in improvement of body composition and fitness level compared to self-monitoring.
