Empowering Young Patients: How Pedi@ctivity is Transforming Physical Activity in Pediatric Rheumatology
In this episode—recorded live at EULAR 2025 in Barcelona—we sit down with Nilay Arman, Asena Yekdaneh, and Asya Albayrak to discuss the development of Pedi@ctivity, an innovative digital platform designed to promote physical activity in children with juvenile rheumatic diseases.
Building on insights from their recent poster presentation and study, the team explains how Pedi@ctivity integrates wearable devices and app-based support to monitor and improve fitness levels in young patients with conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
They walk us through the platform’s design, share preliminary pilot data, and offer real-world insights from early implementation. Together, we explore how personalized digital tools can support self-management in pediatric patients, the unique challenges of tracking physical activity in this population, and the platform’s potential to enhance clinical care and long-term health outcomes.
Tune in for a lively and inspiring conversation at the intersection of technology, pediatrics, and rheumatology—and discover how Pedi@ctivity is helping shape the future of child-centered digital health.
