AIM: To analyze randomized controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of machine learning (ML)-based interventions in promoting physical activity. BACKGROUND: Evidence on the effectiveness of ML-based interventions to increase physical activity from randomized controlled trials is limited. Synthesizing existing evidence is crucial for nurses to integrate such advancements into their care and implement health-promoting interventions. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials from 2013 to 2024 have been accessed b…
The gain
A meta-analysis of five randomized trials found that machine-learning-based physical activity interventions raised adults' daily step counts more than non-ML comparison programs (Hedge's g = 0.402, 95% CI 0.231-0.573).
What this doesn’t fix
Some included trials had small samples and limited diversity, few were led by nurses, and the review included only English and Turkish publications, so the effects apply to specific groups.

What the review found when it combined the studies
These are the review’s own pooled results, copied from its abstract. Truvace did not recalculate them.

The review’s own words
Meta-analysis revealed that ML interventions significantly increased daily step count (Hedge's g = 0.402, 95% CI: 0.231-0.573, p<0.000).
Code checks every number above against the review’s text before it is shown. The short labels are an AI model’s reading of that text, so the review’s own sentence sits under each one. A pooled figure is only as strong as the studies behind it. How Truvace uses pooled results

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2742 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
