Activity
Both Activity and mHealth
Discharge instructions focused on 24 - 48 hours of rest then symptom guided activity, Fitbit monitored.
Use of the "resilience" application on a smart phone to assess daily symptoms over 14 days and follow a self directed, symptom guided return to physical activity. Also Fitbit monitored.
Low intensity activity regardless of symptoms using their Fitbit to measure said activity with goals (eg. 10,000 steps/ day.
This group will receive both interventions and utilize the "SuperBetter" app. Interventions will be integrated by having research assistants support the subject to set and physical activity goals and milestones to the subject's pre-programmed general resilience goals in the SuperBetter© app (e.g. take a 30 min walk, march in place for 5 minutes, increase my step count by 2000 today, achieve 10,000 steps today).
