ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new program called the Smart mHealth Strategy, which aims to help people become more active and improve their health using technology. The program combines wearable devices, like smartwatches, with chatbots that can provide reminders and support through social media. It focuses on techniques like setting goals, tracking progress, and receiving feedback, all designed to encourage a more active lifestyle. Researchers want to see how this strategy affects not only how much participants move but also their overall mental and physical health.

To join the study, participants should be adults aged 18 and older who currently don't get enough physical activity and lead a sedentary lifestyle, meaning they spend a lot of time sitting or being inactive. It's important that they have a smartphone and are not facing any serious health issues that would limit their physical activity. During the trial, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and use various devices to track their health and activity levels at different stages of the study. This research is currently recruiting participants, and it's a chance to receive support in becoming more active while also contributing to important health research.
