Teens' fitness tracked by smartwatches in new digital health study
NCT ID NCT05509907
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a smartwatch and mobile app platform called Pedi@Ctivity to track physical activity in 362 adolescents, including those with chronic rheumatic disease. The goal was to collect big data and use AI to analyze activity patterns and create personalized exercise programs. The study focused on measuring fitness, usability, and satisfaction, not on treating any disease.
