Mobile Physical Activity for Type 1 Diabetes
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Type1diabetes
In brief
The study is the formative observation stage of behavioral intervention development. Sedentary adults with type 1 diabetes will be given access to a mobile application that incorporates biosensor feedback, teleconsultation, and online group exercise classes. The first aim is to quantify the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the application. The second aim is to evaluate predictors and mechanisms of physical activity behavior change among these adults. The possible predictors the investigators are monitoring include usage of specific application features, momentary internal factors (e.g., pre-activity fear of hypoglycemia), momentary external factors (e.g., location), and latent external factors (e.g., mental health traits). These results will be used to develop a refined mobile application utilizing the most popular application features, as well as an algorithm that uses the identified predictors of physical activity to advise adults with type 1 diabetes when to engage in physical activity (i.e., context-aware physical activity coaching) and when to make related diet and insulin adjustments.
