AI simplified
Abstract
A target sample size of 60 women will be recruited to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the +Stay Active intervention for managing .
- The intervention combines with a smartphone app designed to increase physical activity levels.
- Participants will use a wrist accelerometer to monitor their physical activity before and after engaging with the app.
- Primary outcomes include recruitment rates, retention, compliance, and participant engagement with the intervention.
- Secondary outcomes focus on blood glucose control, self-reported and device-measured physical activity, and participant feedback on the app.
- Insights gained will inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial.
