Evaluating the technical use of a Fitbit during an intervention for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension with quality of life as primary endpoint: Lessons learned from the UPHILL study

This article examines technical use of Fitbit during an intervention for pulmonary hypertension (PAH)-patients. Technical issues with the device led to data being unavailable(37.5%). During intervention objective daily physical activity (DPA) decreased and subjective DPA increased. This emphasizes t...

Description
Summary:This article examines technical use of Fitbit during an intervention for pulmonary hypertension (PAH)-patients. Technical issues with the device led to data being unavailable(37.5%). During intervention objective daily physical activity (DPA) decreased and subjective DPA increased. This emphasizes that an assessment of DPA in PAH requires incorporating both objective and subjective measurements.
