Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a feasibility study to determine the ability to obtain data from patients smart phones, looking at data from the 28 days prior to ICU admission. Using information obtained from ICU patients smart phones, pre-hospital mobility will be assessed. This information will be compared to the patients status three and six months post ICU admission using a variety of assessment tools. This study will hopefully provide information about functional outcomes for patients based on pre-ICU status. Patients are admitted into the study after 48hrs admission into ICU and when they are able to give written informed consent which can occur in ICU or following discharge to the ward. Patients will be provided with a Fitbit and given instruction on how to download MOVES prior to the follow up visits at three and six months.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 297803 0
The primary objective of this study is to establish feasibility of retrospectively obtaining pre-morbid pedometer/accelerometer and GPS data from the smart-phones of survivors of critical illness.
Timepoint [1] 297803 0
The initial data collection will occur following consent at which time pre-hospital phone data will be collected (for the 28 days prior to ICU admission). Follow up will occur at three and six months following the initial data assessment.
Secondary outcome [1] 322287 0
The secondary objectives of the study are to validate accelerometer data extracted from a patient’s smart phone when they are recovering from critical illness. This will be achieved by comparison with pedometer data recorded using a fitbit, which we will consider as the ‘gold standard’. Information from the mobile phone app MOVES will also be compared with this data. This data will be collected from 10-28 days prior to the clinic visit.
Timepoint [1] 322287 0
Comparisons will be made at 3 and 6 months following initial assessment of phone data with data measured for 10-28 days prior to the clinic visit.
Secondary outcome [2] 322357 0
Functional assessments will also be performed 3 and 6 months following initial assessment. Measurement tools will include a 6 minute walk test, grip strength and functional questionnaires including the FIM instrument, Katz index, Lawton instrument and WHODAS . This will be used as a comparison with the measured data obtained from the activity data from the smart phone, pedometer and the app MOVES.
Timepoint [2] 322357 0
Comparisons will be made at 3 and 6 months with activity data (from smart phone, pedometer and the app MOVES) measured for 10-28 days prior to the clinic visit.
