Empowering Patients With Chronic Disease Using Profiling and Targeted Feedbacks Delivered Through Wearable Device

Behavioral nudges will be delivered to patients' FitBit device through adaptive intervention platform via notification syncing. To ensure the delivered nudges are timely and personalized, predictive nudges will be developed based on patterns in patients' sociodemographic, clinical and baseline activity tracking. These nudges will be sent automatically to patients upon specific triggers. The nudges will also be assessed for its effectiveness in behavior change. For example, a predictive nudge to encourage patients to take a short walk after detecting long periods of sedentary time will be assessed for its effects by step counts data after delivery of nudge. An iterative approach will be used to generate an effective set of nudges and its most appropriate delivery times for specific activity patterns.
