NCT06018844

Brief Summary

The goal of this longitudinal cohort study is to learn about a mHealth intervention in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

  • Does the intervention increase the amount of text messages between the mHealth software and participants?
  • Do the text messages from the Nudge software increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in participants?
  • Does the MVPA encouraged by the Nudge software improve the HbA1c levels of participants? Participants will:
  • Receive text messages from the Nudge software
  • Report physical activity goals via the text messages to the Nudge software
  • Wear both an accelerometer and an actigraph for three weeks (spread out across the beginning, 30 days, and 90 days of participation)
  • Complete surveys at the beginning of participation
  • Complete daily surveys while wearing the devices
  • Complete surveys at the end of participation
  • Record physical activity in study surveys

Interventions

NUDGEOTHER

NUDGE is a brief mHealth text messaging intervention designed to promote activity in adolescents by allowing them to set, monitor, and receive feedback on daily PA goals through text message.
