Using Wearable Technology to Objectively Investigate Physical Behaviour and Determine Health Outcomes of a Physical Activity Intervention in Patients with Psoriasis
Objective measurement of physical behaviour, using wearable digital technologies, offers a mechanism to further understand the clinical impact of lifestyle behaviour interventions. Crucially, despite increased levels of physical activity, we observed no change in total waking hour sedentary time. Further investigation is required to establish how modification of physical behaviour could offer an adjuvant management strategy for patients with psoriasis.
