Interventions

The SIMBA app is a tool which can be used in health care to stimulate children with asthma to become physical active. The SIMBA app is intended to use as an additional tool for health-care providers

2) the dashboard, which can be accessed online using a username and password

3) the activity tracker, which monitors the PA behavior of the child by counting activity minutes and activity levels and 4) the actual communication moment between the child and the health-care pr

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Sedentary children with asthma aged 8 to 12 years old with a mild to moderate asthma degree

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
At the end of the third phase of the SIMBA study, a report will be delivered that provides insight into the feasibility and usability of the SIMBA app. Based on this report, the app will be optimized and there will be a follow-up study that will examine the app for effectiveness and ultimately implementation. The feasibility will be assessed on the basis of semi-structured interviews with both care providers and children with asthma (and their parents) during and at the end of the intervention period. The usability will be checked by the individual scores for the technological acceptance and system use of the app (System Usability Scale [SUS]). The SUS offers a fast, reliable tool for measuring usability.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Success factors will be assessed by studying changes in physical activity (patterns and level). In addition, we will study the estimated exercise capacity of the 6-min walking test, the changes in joy of exercise and the self-image related to exercise.	—
