This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a 12-week digital health program designed to help children with congenital heart disease (a heart condition present from birth) and their parents lead healthier lifestyles. You'll use a Garmin activity tracker to monitor physical activity while accessing a digital platform with personalized tips and support for exercise and nutrition. The study aims to see whether this approach helps children move more, feel better, and understand their health condition more deeply.
Many children with heart disease don't get enough physical activity, even though staying active is important for their health. There aren't many proven digital tools designed specifically for this group, so researchers want to test whether an interactive app and activity tracker can make it easier and more enjoyable for kids and families to improve their fitness and wellness habits.

If you're selected, you'll be randomly assigned to either start the digital program right away or wait 12 weeks before starting (the control group). Either way, you'll wear a Garmin activity tracker for the full 12 weeks to track your daily steps and movement. If you're in the intervention group, you and your parent or guardian will have access to a digital platform with health and activity content tailored for kids with heart disease. At the beginning and end of 12 weeks, you'll answer questions about your physical activity, nutrition, quality of life, and health understanding.
