What this trial studies
The Dyn@mo intervention focuses on children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with cardiometabolic risk factors, particularly obesity. It aims to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior by utilizing wearable sensors to gather data on mobility and activity levels. This data helps healthcare professionals provide personalized counseling to improve the children's cardiometabolic health. The study is currently in the implementation phase at CHU Sainte-Justine in Quebec, Canada.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this intervention are children aged 6 to 18 years with a BMI greater than the 95th percentile for their age and sex.
Not a fit: Children with physical or psychological conditions that limit their ability to engage in physical activity may not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the cardiometabolic health of obese children and adolescents.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies targeting lifestyle interventions in pediatric populations have shown promising results, indicating potential success for this approach.
