NCT ID NCT07631754
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested a new version of Happy Homework, a digital app designed to encourage healthy movement, sleep, and less sitting in children aged 8-12. Researchers measured activity levels, sleep, and body mass index before and after the 8-week program in 82 children. The main goal was to see if the app was easy to use and acceptable to families, not yet to prove it improves health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Happy Homework 2.0 app (behavioural intervention promoting physical activity, sleep, and reduced sedentary time)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, scalable tool to help children meet daily movement guidelines.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (82 children) focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. The app may not lead to lasting behaviour changes.
