TEMIS: a Pilot Study to Evaluate a Device to Characterize Ambulatory Physical Activity (TEMIS)

Physical inactivity is a major public health issue. Prescription of physical activity appears necessary in some situation with cardiovascular risk. It is important to both qualify and quantify daily physical activity.

The aim of this project is to evaluate the TEMIS system (based on a smart T-shirt) performance in 12 healthy subjects, wearing this system over the daytime during one week.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy; Sedentary
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: TEMIS system

Detailed Description

Healthy subjects have to make different physical activities, wearing the TEMIS system like slow and fast walking, biking, running.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Actual): 12
• Phase: Not Applicable

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
concordance (kappa score) between actual and estimated physical activity	Investigators will during the seven days of the protocol, when the system TEMIS is hold, evaluate the concordance between the activity really performed by the subject (questionnaire) and the activity calculated by the TEMIS System (Kappa test). Investigators will evaluate the following activity: lying position, sitting position, standing position, walking activity, running activity, bicycle activity, use of a vehicle (car, bus)	One week (average of each day recording)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
total duration of recording in hours		One week (sum of each day recording)
number of subjects with adverse events	will be considered as adverse events; allergia; discomfort with removal of the system	one week
