Summary

This trial aims to help teenagers and young adults aged 13-25 with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) to increase their physical activity levels. Participants will use a smartphone program called NUDGE,

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents and young adults aged 13-25 with Cystic Fibrosis who are medically stable, can communicate in English, and aren't currently having a CF-related health crisis. It aims to help those already active stay that way or encourage less active individuals to increase their physical activity.
What is being tested?
The intervention being tested is a mobile app called NUDGE designed for smartphones. It's a chatbot that helps set fitness goals, monitor progress, give feedback on achievements, and adjust future objectives based on evidence-based strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves using an app for promoting physical activity rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects associated with it. However, participants should engage in exercise appropriate for their condition.
