An Integrated Two-Way Communication and Near-Real-Time Sensing System to Detect and Modify Daily Inactivity Among Adults Over Age 60
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Companion for Exercise and Physical Activity. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot study is a small sample (N=46) 16-week clinical trial with a follow-up after 24-weeks among sedentary adults \>60 y with a BMI \>25 kg/m2 to tests the impact of a hybrid artificial intelligence behavior change system (Companion) on physical activity. Participants will be randomized to a control and intervention group. All participants will engage in a proven supervised exercise program from week 1 to 16. Only the intervention group will receive Companion from week 1 to 16.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Companion integrates wearable sensing with the smartphone to develop a behavior-aware, virtual system that uses a "human-in-the-loop" approach to enable meaningful two-way communication. Companion builds rich models of typical behavior using sensors and context sensitive ecological momentary assessment to deliver intervention components and behavior change strategies using socially engaging, contextually salient, and tailored text-message conversations in near-real-time.
