Interventions
Arm 1: Digital Physical Activity Intervention + Usual Care
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive a 12-week digital behaviour change intervention alongside their usual care. This
2) an interactive, personalised, web-based dashboard (KiActiv® Health), displaying multiple dimensions of physical activity data with integrated behaviour change tools
3) one-to-one support from a dedicated mentor (6 x 20-minute sessions).
After the 12-week intervention, patients will retain access to the dashboard and activity monitor for continued self-management

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility will be assessed through: 1. Recruitment: number of participants approached, screened, screen-failed, consented, as well as reasons for declining participation, measured using a screening log throughout the study 2. Retention: proportion of consented participants completing the study, measured using a study completion log at the end of the study 3. Acceptability: participants' perceptions and experiences of the intervention and study procedures, assessed via qualitative interviews at 24 weeks 4. Adherence: uploading of physical activity data and completeness of patient-reported outcomes, assessed via the digital platform at 0, 12, and 24 weeks 5. Usage of intervention components assessed via the digital platform during the intervention phase (0 to 12 weeks) and follow-up phase (12 to 24 weeks) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The amount, duration and intensity of physical activity undertaken will be assessed through device-based activity monitoring continuously over 24 weeks Outcomes assessed at baseline (0 weeks), post-intervention (12 weeks) and follow-up (24 weeks): 2. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured using EQ-5D-5L questionnaire 3. Anxiety and depression measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) 4. Self-efficacy measured using the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease Scale 5. Dyspnoea measured using the Dyspnoea-12 questionnaire 6. Fatigue measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue Scale (FACIT) 7. Mental well-being measured using the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS) 8. Adverse events measured using adverse event log | — |
