mHealth technology assisted exercise counselling (mHealth)
Patients will complete the Here for Health Healthy Lifestyle intervention designed by the Paediatric Diabetes Dietitians at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Patients will complete the Here for Health Healthy Lifestyle intervention before completing a 12 week mHealth technology assisted exercise counselling intervention. Participants will co-develop a 3-month structured exercise and PA programme, with support from an exercise specialist. All participants will have 5 exercise consultations with their exercise specialist. The intervention will be supported by 3 mHealth elements; 1) a wrist worn fitness watch, 2) a smartphone app for patients, and 3) a coaching website for the exercise specialist. The 3 elements will be synced, allowing data to be transferred between platforms.
