Pedometer integrated into a digital application designed for healthcare professionals to facilitate motivational interventions (POD-iSanté project): Acceptability study protocol

This project evaluates the acceptability of POD‑iSanté, a tool combining a pedometer with a digital application to support motivational interventions by healthcare professionals. A sequential explanatory mixed‑methods design will be used, beginning with an online questionnaire based on Sekhon’s acceptability framework, followed by semi‑structured interviews. Qualitative analysis will be guided by Meleis’ Transition Theory to better understand factors influencing implementation in clinical practice. Findings will include descriptive statistics for acceptability dimensions and key qualitative themes.
