The Mobile Health Platform - Development and Feasibility Evaluation

This study develops and pilots the initial interface of our mobile health platform that will
allow for intra-individual tailoring and personalization of health interventions. This will
allow for just-in-time interventions that adapt both the content and timing, not just
initially, but also over time based upon prior outcome data, responses to an intervention,
current environmental and social context, activity level, location, time, and an
individual's psychophysiological state.1,2

Aim 1: To develop the initial interface of the mobile health platform that will allow
patients to report and receive data representing multiple health domains including blood
pressure, pO2 (pulse oximeter), values, weight, physical activity, calories burned, sleep,
and self-report survey measures such as pain and fatigue.

Aim 2: To assess feasibility of the mobile health platform to receive and deliver data
representing multiple health domains over 1 month through a single-case study design (N=6).3
Aim 3: To develop an algorithm using the diet data collected in Aim 1 that will facilitate
adaptive work by providing patients with automated real time feedback on their progress.

Aim 4: To develop an algorithm using the diet data collected in Aim 1 that will that will
facilitate adaptive approaches by alerting clinicians on the progress of their patients.

At baseline we will collect demographic variables and acceptance and use of technology from
surveys, and biological variables including blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose from
electronic medical records. Over a period of 1 month, participants will be asked to track
and collect daily data on weight using the iHealth wireless scale. Participants will also
collect blood pressure (BP), pO2, and pulse using the iHealth blood pressure device.
Physical activity and sleep activity will be measured using the fitbit device. Participants
will receive evidence-based daily nutrition and exercise weight loss messages via text
messages.

Following the one-month observation participants will be asked to complete a follow-up
survey on acceptance and use of technology and to undergo a post-formative semi-structure
telephone interview to discuss their perception of the usefulness and attitudes toward the
platform, technical difficulties and barriers, and recommendations for future development.
