Evaluation of the Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) Score

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Physical Activity

In brief

This will be a prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) Score to encourage physical activity. Participants will utilize a wearable wrist device that will provide data pertaining to physical activity, to include steps taken, miles walked, heart rate, calories burned, etc. The intervention group devices will also provide a visible PAI score and will be given information about a PAI app they can install on their smart phone to monitor their activity Control participants will be encouraged to work up to at least 10,000 steps a day, higher if possible and reasonable. Those with a device that displays a PAI score (study participants) will be encouraged to work up to and maintain the highest PAI score possible, with 100 being the ideal.
