Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Daily Step Count — 783; 1770 steps per day
Summary
A randomized trial of a gamification-enhanced home-based walking program compared with a standard home-based walking program in patients with intermittent claudication. Patients will be provided with a Fitbit device and set an exercise goal. Over the next 16 weeks, patients will receive text message reminders to exercise and daily steps will be tracked. Half of patients will be randomized to a gamified interface that leverages behavioral economic principles to encourage exercise.
