Enrollment Run-In Target Generator

For all of the Way to Health veterans out there, remember the days when the development team had to custom build your study's target generators for you? Well look no further, YOU now have the ability to configure the target generator for your study! 

What is the Enrollment Run-in Target Generator? 

• Calculates a participant's target or goal for the study duration on data collected during the run-in period.  
  • This allows participants to have a realistic and attainable goal based on real data
  • Allows each participant to have a different goal based on how they did during the run in 
    
    
• Ability to set different goal parameters including
  • Set minimum days needed to calculate goal 
  • Exclude certain values 
  • Multiply baseline calculated to increase goal for the study period 
  • Specify goal rounding criteria

How do I set up the Enrollment Run-in Target Generator? 

1. If you have not so already, first you should set up the Run-In period in enrollment.  This addition is necessary in order for WTH to calculate a goal based on the baseline data captured during enrollment. 
   1. Not sure how to do this? See the + Enrollment Block section of How to build the enrollment process
      
      
2. Navigate to the 'Target Configurations' section of Manage Study.
   
   
   
   
3. Under Target Configurations, select 'New'. 
   
   
   
   
4. The Target Configuration screen will pop up.  In the 'Target Type' drop down, select 'Enrollment Run-in Target'. 
   
   
   
   
5. Once selected, WTH will display the target set up fields. Fill out fields based on the way the target should work.  See below for more help on how to fill out the various sections! 

Target Configuration main settings

• Device Source: Select the device that the target should look at.  This will be the same device that is used during the enrollment period.
  • Example: Run in for 2 weeks of Fitbit pedometer data? Select Fitbit
  • Haven't set up your devices yet? Go to the 'Devices' section of Manage Study. 
    
    
• Device Selection Field: Select the data that the target should look at. This should be the same selection field that is set up in the Device Settings. 
  • Example: Fitbit = steps, Withings Scale = weight 
    
    
• Arm: Choose the arm that will have this target generator.  This allows you to have different criteria across arms.  
  • Want the same target for both Intervention and Control? Just created the same target generator twice, swapping out the arm! 
  • Haven't built the study arms yet? Go to 'Study Arms' section of Manage Study

Scheduling

• Start Day: Select the day that the target should start.  If you only have one target, this is typically at study start, or Day 0. 
  
  
• End Day: Select the day that the target should end. Again, if you only have one target for the study duration, this is typically the last day in the study. 
  • Tip! Want to create a target ramp up? You can do this with the scheduling feature! 
    • Example: Target runs from Day 0-29 and then the target increases on Day 30-59 and increases again Day 60-89.  You can achieve this by creating 3 different targets!
