Supplementary file 1_From passive monitoring to active engagement: a systematic review and

Seven randomized controlled trials involving 693 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The study, authored by Jingkang Xia and published in 2026, systematically evaluates the effects of digital health interventions on objective physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. It found that while overall step count changes were not significant, telerehabilitation-based interventions significantly improved peak oxygen uptake.

Use Cases

• Conducting secondary meta-analyses based on the aggregated results from seven included RCTs.
• Analyzing the differential effects of active versus passive digital intervention modes on patient outcomes.
• Evaluating the impact of behavior change techniques and theoretical foundations on intervention efficacy.
• Benchmarking objective physical activity metrics (e.g., daily steps, VO2 max) against standard care for OSA patients.

Strengths

• Includes data from seven randomized controlled trials, a standard for clinical evidence.
• Focuses on objectively measured physical activity data, reducing reliance on subjective reports.
• Employs rigorous statistical methods including random-effects models and GRADE evidence grading.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 20.0 KB document, indicating it contains summary-level analysis rather than raw clinical trial data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the text after download.
• The overall quality of evidence for primary outcomes was rated as low to moderate in the source study.
