Summary

This is a pilot study to examine the feasibility of implementing an objective physical activity and sleep monitoring tool into a pediatric weight management program in conjunction with a personal health record (PHR) for children and their families. This feasibility study is intended to provide proof of concept in the incorporation of monitoring devices within the PHR for pediatric patients and their families. Additionally, the investigators will examine whether the PHR helps to empower pediatric patients, their families and the health care team to more effectively monitor the patient's behavior change. Participants will be randomized to receive, or not receive, augmented communication with the health care team between clinical in person visits.
