Sumari:Introduction: This article examines the deployment of a mobile application developed by RéPPOP (Réseau de Prévention et de Prise en Charge de l’Obésité Pédiatrique) to encourage physical activity among obese children. Aim of the study : The aim of this qualitative sociological survey is to shed light on the difficulties involved in implementing this application. This will enable us to understand how the caregivers who designed the application and the physical activity professionals who tested it perceive it and its effects. Results: The difficulties encountered in implementing the application highlight the complexity of using a digital tool designed as a solution to the complexities of physical activity monitoring. Professionals’ conceptions of childhood obesity and its management condition their commitment to their role as testers and their questions about the conditions under which children will use this application. Conclusions: Professional testers take little interest in the application, particularly as they question its suitability for the living conditions of children and their families. This article thus enables us to grasp the risk of reproducing social inequalities in health, with regard to digital inequalities, while considering the vigilance of professionals on these aspects.
