Study Details

Brief summary:

Physical activity is known to help patients with heart failure feel better and live longer though few patients with heart failure are sufficiently active. This study is evaluating whether a mobile health intervention can help patients with heart failure increase physical activity levels and remain active over time. The mobile health intervention consists of three parts: Notifications encouraging physical activity, a digital health coach trained in motivational interviewing, and a mobile application which encourages goal setting and activity monitoring.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Mobile application intervention

All participants will have a 1-week baseline period to establish participants pre-intervention step counts.

Interventions

Mobile application intervention

Following a baseline period, participants will receive a 12 week mobile health intervention consisting of 3 main components: (1) a mobile application which supports goal-setting and self-monitoring; (2) an artificial intelligence (AI)-based health coach within the mobile application trained in principles of motivational interviewing and tailored to the needs of patients with heart failure (3) micro-randomized messages designed to enhance perceived competence around physical activity and promoting low level physical activity.

Primary outcome measure

  • Step count 4 hours after a decision point for micro-randomized messages [ Time Frame: 4 hours after a decision point ]
