Sponsor's own description
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the changes on mental and physical health deriving from a blended intervention merging psychological intervention aimed at increasing activity and exercise with a personalised exercise program based on medical assessment on subjects suffering from mild to moderate depressive symptoms irrespective of diagnostic entity, by comparing two experimental groups (A. Personalised exercise group program+ app with motivational messages + fitness tracker or B. Personalised exercise group program+ app with no motivational messages + fitness tracker) and a control group (app with no motivational messages +fitness tracker). This study also introduces the use of a wearable device to collect information regarding physical activity and sleep patterns to provide motivational messages. The investigators hypothesise that participation in a brief app-blended group intervention -on top of usual care- promoting personalised exercise and activity will improve functioning and well-being of participants, as well as motivate them to increase their physical activity and enhance behavioural changes towards a healthier lifestyle when compared to general exercise prescriptions. In addition, the investigators hypothesise that amongst patients who had been allocated to the intervention conditions, those presenting better commitment to prescribed personalised exercise plans (understood as more than a 70% compliance of prescribed exercise, measured by objective movement data collected by a fitness tracker) will show a higher functionality improvement.
