Abstract

In this study, a pedometer-based exercise support system on smartphone was proposed for SLE women. Mean daily steps ranged between 1578 and 4050 with the mean of 2669 steps/day. They reported satisfaction for the system to promote daily activity at homes. Further evaluation of its efficacy is in progress.
