Implementing Dynamo: a Tailored Lifestyle Promotion Intervention Among Pediatric Patients With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The Dyn@mo lifestyle intervention (CHU Sainte-Justine, Quebec, Canada) targets children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years old with cardiometabolic risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, disorders in glucose regulation or dyslipidemia. Its primary goal is to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time to improve childrens' cardiometabolic profile. To do so, the intervention relies on gathering data on mobility and physical activity using wearable sensors. These data provide a detailed picture of real-life conditions and physical activity levels, improving the health care professional's ability to tailor counseling. The investigators are presently in the implementation phase of this intervention.

Target number of participants: 100
Treatments
Experimental: Sensor based PA intervention
Children will be equipped with a heart rate monitor, a GPS receiver and an accelerometer for collection of heart rate, mobility and physical activity free-living data during a 7-day period. This will provide a 'spatio-behavioural diagnosis' using a map-based interactive web application. This data will be used to developed a tailored plan to promote physical activity in the child's every day environment.
Other: Traditional PA counseling
In this arm, while children will wear the same sensors as in the intervention arm, the intervention will not rely on data gathered using the wearable sensors. Rather, a traditional physical activity counseling strategy will be adopted in this control group.
