This study asks people with axial spondyloarthritis (a chronic inflammatory disease of the spine) to wear a smartwatch for 6 months while answering simple surveys about their symptoms and daily life. Researchers will track your movement patterns and physical activity to figure out which types and amounts of exercise help people with this condition feel better and stay in better disease control.
Even with modern medicines, many people with axial spondyloarthritis still have pain and limited function. While doctors know that physical activity is important, there's no clear guidance on exactly what kind of movement works best. This study aims to close that gap by gathering real-world data on movement and symptoms to create concrete exercise recommendations.

You would wear a smartwatch continuously for 6 months while it tracks your movement, activity level, and heart rate. Every two weeks, you'll answer brief surveys at home about your symptoms and how you're feeling. You'll visit the clinic every 3 months for a standard check-up and physical exam. At the end of 6 months, your movement data and survey responses are combined and analyzed to help doctors understand what exercise patterns work best for your condition.
