Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. compliance with DiGA use: - Investigation of how coaching (AI-based or personalized coaching) improves compliance when using DiGA versus DiGA without coaching. 2. compliance with regular physical activity: - Investigating how personalized coaching in the gym/strength training improves physical activity and exercise competence in rheumatic patients compared to physiotherapy. 3. mobility and physical function: - Examining how coaching affects range of motion (BASMI, physical measurements), gait (sensors), physical function in the context of disease (BASFI), strength (dynamometer), and functional limitations in daily living (HAQ). 4. pain and disease activity: - Examination of how coaching affects disease activity (BASDAI), inflammatory markers (CRP, interleukin) and pain (PAIN, VAS, Korff, PDI). 5. movement competence: - Examination of how coaching affects exercise competence (PAHCO), physical activity (WHO), BMI and fear of exercise (TSK). 6. quality of life: - Investigating how coaching affects quality of life (SF-36), sleep habits (PSQI) and work productivity (WPAI). | — |
