Official title
Impact of Wearable Health Devices and Health and Wellness Behavior Change Support on Health Outcomes and Healthcare Costs
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of consumer-grade wearable health devices and behavior change support services, including health coaching, on health behaviors, biometrics, and healthcare costs. The study will be a randomized controlled trial with 700 participants who are employees of UMass Memorial Health Care in which 350 participants (control group) receive standard wellness and medical benefits and services for UMass Memorial Health Care employees and in which 350 participants (intervention group) receive these same standard benefits and services as well as the full Fitbit Care product suite (Fitbit wrist-worn device, Fitbit connected weight scale, and Fitbit Premium + Health Coaching service). Participants in the intervention group will be offered support in improving health behaviors that are important to them, including activity, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and medication adherence. They will also be offered support in tying these behaviors to their health goals, including blood pressure management, blood sugar management, cholesterol management, weight loss, smoking cessation, etc. The hypothesis is that those employees in the intervention group will experience improved results compared to those in the control group. It is believed that they will have improved health behaviors, improved biometrics, and lower total healthcare costs (fewer complications, fewer hospitalizations, etc.).
