Clinical Trial Summary

Sedentary behaviour has a detrimental effect on the mortality, morbidity, and well-being of patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, and general practitioners should advise patients on how to self-monitor and increase their physical activity. The emergence of mobile health (mHealth) technologies unlocks the potential to further improve physical behaviour using an innovative "just-in-time" adaptive approach whereby behavioural support is provided in real-time, based on data from wearable sensors. Thus, the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of a just-in-time mHealth intervention administered by general practitioners on the physical activity and sedentary behaviour of patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. A total of 340 patients will be recruited from 20 general practices across the Czech Republic and randomly assigned to either an active control or intervention group. Both groups will receive brief physical activity advice from their general practitioners and a Fitbit fitness tracker to self-monitor their daily steps, but the intervention group will also receive a mHealth-enabled just-in-time adaptive intervention and regular monthly phone counselling in the first 6 months. The mHealth intervention will be delivered using a custom-developed system (HealthReact) connected to the Fitbit that will trigger just-in-time text messages. For example, a prompt to take a break from sedentary behaviour will be triggered after 30 sedentary minutes or a motivational message with a specific goal to take more steps will be triggered when the total step count is too low. The primary outcome will be the change in daily step count at 6 months, other outcomes include changes in other physical behaviour measures, blood tests, anthropometry and patient-reported outcomes at 6 and 12 months. If the intervention is effective, this study will provide a model of health prevention that can be directly implemented and commissioned within primary care using existing infrastructure.
