Effectiveness of Hospital Fit on Physical Activity in Hospitalized Patients: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster-Randomized Trial and Process Evaluation.

This study investigates the effectiveness of using Hospital Fit as part of usual care physiotherapy on the physical activity (PA) behavior of hospitalized patients compared to patients who received physiotherapy before implementation of Hospital Fit. In addition, a process evaluation is conducted. A prospective, multi-center, mixed-methods stepped wedge cluster randomized trial was performed at the cardiology and medical oncology departments of two Dutch university medical centers.

Validation of a wireless patch sensor to monitor mobility tested in both an experimental and a hospital setup: A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: To assess the concurrent validity of a wireless patch sensor to monitor time lying, sitting/standing, and walking in an experimental and a hospital setup.

Methods: Healthy adults participated in two testing sessions: an experimental and real-world hospital setup. Data on time lying, sitting/standing, and walking was collected with the HealthPatch and concurrent video recordings.
