About this trial
The main purpose of this project is to promote physical activity in patients with osteoarthritis. More specifically, this study aims to test the acceptability of an app to promote physical activity in the target population, and consequently the feasibility of such an approach.
A mobile phone application - namely PIANISSIMO - will be developed specifically for this project. It aims to spread knowledge on the benefits of physical activity and collect data on how this knowledge can induce behavior changes toward a more physically active lifestyle.
The intervention is delivered via the app, which will send daily notifications on physical activity and sedentary behavior, and ask the participants to set their weekly goal (i.e., daily steps). The app will also collect daily steps count and ask the participant to fill in questionnaire on pain once a week.

Physical activity promotion
BehavioralThe intervention will be delivered through a phone application: each week, the participant will define a new daily step goal for the following week. Then he/she will receive daily notifications (except Sundays) about physical activity, sedentary behavior and their consequences on general health and osteoarthritis specifically. These notifications are designed to promote physical activity in this specific population.
