Technology Assisted Nudging to Increase Physical Activity Among Hospitalised Medical Patients
Sponsor: Bispebjerg Hospital
Summary
Primary Objective To investigate if patients hospitalised for older adults with a decreased level of physical function, either related to a chronic condition e.g., COPD, Congestive heart failure, renal failure; infections; frailty and tendency of falling; orthopaedic surgery - after hip fracture will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation and 3 months after discharge through visual feedback and motivational intervention about physical activities from a new mobile technology. Hypothesis Patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their physical activity level during hospitalisation and 3 months after discharge through visual feedback and motivational intervention from a new mobile technology.

Interventions
Digital nudging intervention target to change behavior
In hospital Participants in the intervention group will receive usual hospital care and be provided with a sensor collecting data on physical activity level during hospitalisation AND a monitor placed at their bedside that displays information about their physical activity level, in terms of time spent bedridden, sitting, standing, and walking. This information will be visible to the health personnel, the patients, and their relatives. This feedback system is developed and provided by SENS Innovation. After discharge The visual feedback system from SENS will be continued after discharge and include an E-sport biking system provided by 4Mvideo. This integrated new system will combine an ergometer bike or sofa bike installed in the patient's own home or nursing home, and data from the sensor that the participants continue to wear after discharge will go into the SENS system, feeding back a visual track of their activities
