Adherence

A multicomponent mHealth intervention integrating smartphone apps, accelerometers, remote coaching, and modest financial incentives produces large, sustained improvements in multiple diet and physical activity behaviors, bringing them to public health guideline levels.

Use a smartphone app and a simple activity tracker to monitor your diet and movement. Set specific, achievable goals for increasing fruits/vegetables, reducing screen time, and increasing moderate-to-vigorous activity. Consider using a coaching service or app that provides feedback. Small, short-term financial incentives for meeting these goals can help kickstart the habit, but the key is consistent self-monitoring and support.
