AI-driven Personalized Exercise Feedback Program on Exercise Adherence in Traumatic Brain Injury

This study aims to develop and evaluate an AI-driven Personalized Exercise Feedback Program (AI-PEF) to enhance exercise adherence and health outcomes in mTBI patients. Methods: AI-PEF integrates the transtheoretical model and self-determination theory with machine learning algorithms to provide real-time, personalized feedback. A phased randomized controlled trial will be conducted: Phase I evaluates feasibility and acceptability through Delphi methods with expert consensus and patient feedback; Phase II validates preliminary outcomes with 30 participants in a 2-arm randomized trial; and Phase III assesses the program's impact on exercise adherence, exercise motivation, mHealth app usability, functional capacity, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, concussion symptoms, and quality of life with 90 participants in a 3-arm randomized trial. In Phase III, quantitative and qualitative data will be collected in parallel, with qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews to explore participants' experiences and perceptions of the intervention.
