Interventions

BEHAVIORALTPA4You

TPA4You integrates technology components in the form of video-conferencing (e.g., Zoom) with a health coach, wearable sensor (e.g., Fitbit), and personalized text messaging into a package to (a) tailor physical activity (PA) prescriptions based on the family care partners of persons with heart failure (HF-FCP)'s feedback and individual wearable sensor data, (b) provide tailored PA coaching sessions using video-conferencing, and (c) motivate daily exercise using text messages.

BEHAVIORALAttention control group

Participants will be given booklets, provided by the NIA, AHA, and National Alliance for Caregiving, that include content about self-care for FCPs' health and well-being, but not specific to PA or exercise. Participants will receive text messages every other day to encourage them to wear the Fitbit device, and to provide friendly greetings and reminders of upcoming survey data collection.
