Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in mean daily sedentary time (min/day) Timing: compare the last week of Phase A (pre-intervention, Week 2) with the last week of Phase B (after 4 weeks of intervention, Week 6); data source: Fitbit API, synced daily. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sum of >= 30-minute prolonged sitting (min/day): change in weekly means between end of Phase A (Week 2) and end of Phase B (Week 6). Sum of prolonged sitting >= 30 minutes (min/day): change in weekly means between end of Phase A (Week 2) and end of Phase B (Week 6). Sit-to-stand counts (counts/day): same timing. Steps (steps/day): same timing. Resting heart rate (bpm): change from end of Phase A to end of Phase B, plus maintenance at 2 weeks after Phase B (Week 8; notification-off follow-up). Implementation / acceptability: app launches (per day; averaged across 4 weeks of Phase B) and wear adherence (%; proportion of prescribed wear time from 09:00 to 21:00). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs): KCCQ-12 (total and domain scores) and fatigue VAS at registration, weekly, and 2 weeks after Phase B (Week 8). User experience: SUS score and a semi-structured interview at the end of Phase B (Week 6). Safety: frequency and severity of adverse events (exercise-related, cardiovascular, device-related, skin irritation). Cumulative from start of Phase A through end of follow-up (Week 8); Phase B breakdown as needed. | — |
