Project Update: Follow-up Project Physicians Implement Exercise as Medicine (PIE=M)

PIE=M stands for Physicians Implement Exercise as Medicine. This project ran from September 2018 until the end of 2020.

The PIE=M project focused on the potential to provide patients with exercise advice to promote a healthier lifestyle, prevent and treat chronic diseases, facilitate recovery, and promote healthy aging. The PIE=M research was conducted by UMC Groningen and Amsterdam UMC. It was a research project subsidized by ZonMW and carried out at the departments of Rehabilitation Medicine (UMCG and Amsterdam UMC), Orthopedics (UMCG), and Oncology (Amsterdam UMC). The PIE=M project resulted in an implementation plan for prescribing Exercise as Medicine in the hospital setting, known as the "Beweegstappenplan" (see www.beweegstappenplan.nl).

This protocol is called the Movement Step Plan. For optimisation and broad application in hospital care, the Beweegsteappenplan needs to be valorised. The final goal is a blueprint for the prescription of Activity as Medicine with a full product description, supporting materials and a business plan.
