Physical Activity, mHealth and Intellectual Disability - a Pilot Study

The final app is named Active Leisure and consists of an advanced activity planner based on the platform developed by the ideal company Smart Cognition AS. The app offers different interface options (symbols only, easy to read text, plain text, and read aloud). The activity planner will mostly be used by the individual with IDs and a support person (caregiver or health care provider). After completing an activity, a simple reward is available (e.g., a smiling face or to share a picture with other users of the app). The use of tailored communication through personalization: the use of individuals first name in the activity planner, adaptation: individually chosen activities, adjusted communication (symbols, easy-to-read text or plain text), preparation and planning, and feedback: rewarding and positive feedback (after activities have been performed) is expected to increase motivation, and thereby lead to higher levels of PA.
