Using a connected scale to improve physical activity programs for chronic disease patients

Contribution of the Evaluation of Body Composition by Connected Scale in the Effectiveness of a Reconditioning Program Through Physical Activity Adapted for Patients Suffering From Chronic Diseases

NA · Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT06119594

This study is testing if using a connected scale to track body composition can help people with chronic diseases feel better physically and mentally during a six-week rehab program.

What this trial studies

This interventional study aims to assess the impact of a connected impedance scale on the physical and mental quality of life of patients with chronic diseases participating in a rehabilitation program. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving routine care and the other receiving routine care along with the connected scale for monitoring body composition. The study will evaluate whether real-time tracking of body composition can enhance patients' perception of their quality of life over a six-week rehabilitation period. Follow-up assessments will occur at six months to gauge long-term effects.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and over with stable, diagnosed chronic diseases who can participate in a physical activity rehabilitation program.

Not a fit: Patients with significant functional limitations or acute medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved physical and mental well-being for patients with chronic diseases.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of connected devices in rehabilitation is gaining traction, this specific approach combining body composition monitoring with physical activity rehabilitation is relatively novel.
