Study Summary

The objective of this study is to use a randomized, controlled trial to test the effectiveness of using gamification, financial incentives, or both to increase physical activity among patients with elevated risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ASCVD is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of ASCVD, but less than 50% of US adults achieve enough physical activity to obtain these benefits.

Primary Outcome

Change in mean daily steps counts from baseline to the 12-month intervention period, excluding the 8-week ramp-up phase. This will be measured using the Fitbit Charge wearable device.
