Preoperative Physical Activity Improvement with the Use of Activity Trackers in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy-A Bicentric, Open-label, Randomised Controlled Trial: A Clinical Study Protocol of the PreAct Trial

Johannes Hermann Kilz et al. Eur Urol Open Sci. .

Abstract

This study protocol shows the structured design of the randomised controlled phase 3 "PreAct" trial. It hypothesises the use of a fitness tracker-based prehabilitation programme to increase the physical activity of patients prior to radical cystectomy, as measured by the average number of steps per day.

Graphical representation of the implementation of the intervention: (1) investigator sends daily step target and exercise instructions from the hospital to the patient's smartphone; (2) smartphone receives messages from the investigator on the way/at the patient's home and forwards these to the patient's fitness wristband; (3) vibration of the fitness wristband and direct display of step target, exercise instructions, and feedback on the patient's wrist, and (4) permanent synchronisation of activity data, storage of these data in the fitbit account, and the possibility of permanent hospital-internal access to the patient's activity profile.
