Development and Evaluation of a Monocular Camera-Based Mobile Exergame for at-Home Intervention in Individuals at High Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exergames have emerged as effective interventions for promoting physical activity and preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Kinect-based exergames have demonstrated improvements in exercise adherence and health outcomes, but their high cost and reliance on specialized hardware hinder widespread home-based adoption. Recent advances in computer vision now enable monocular camera-based systems, offering a potentially cost-effective and scalable alternative for promoting physical activity at home.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and user experience of monocular camera-based exergames as a home-based intervention for individuals at risk for T2D.

Methods

Forty-five community-dwelling individuals at high risk for T2D (mean age 47.12, SD 6.92 yea
