Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the feasibility and impact of a gamified mHealth intervention on activities in young people with intellectual disabilities.
  • Pilot randomized controlled trial assessing a gamified mHealth intervention.
  • Targeted young individuals with intellectual disabilities.
  • Evaluated changes in daily ambulatory activity.
  • The intervention increased daily step counts, though effects were limited.
  • Findings suggest feasibility for future trials among this underserved group.

Abstract

This pilot RCT suggests that a gamified mHealth intervention is feasible and may increase daily ambulatory activity in young people with ID. Although effects were limited to step count, the findings provide hypothesis-generating evidence to inform future adequately powered trials in this underserved population.
