Wearable Activity Tracker
Brief summary
This is a randomized controlled pilot study to evaluate the utility of the Garmin Vivosmart 5 wearable activity tracker in pregnancy. It will determine the feasibility of assessing physical activity in pregnant patients using wearable activity trackers and collect pilot data on the behavioral impact of wearable activity trackers on physical activity in pregnancy.
Detailed description
Pregnant participants will be given a Garmin Vivosmart 5 wearable activity tracker. They will be randomized 1:1 as to whether they are able to see their personal activity information or being blinded to it. Participants will complete a questionnaire on their physical activity levels before initiating use of the activity tracker and following delivery. Participants' physical activity data, satisfaction with the device, and gestational and delivery outcomes will be collected.
Interventions
A watch-style wearable activity tracker which tracks steps, heart rate, activity level, and sleep quality.
