Mobile Health Behavior Tracking: Health Effects of Tracking Consistency and Its Prediction
Nov 11, 2020
Studies whether consistent personal health behavior tracking via digital technologies (i.e., wearables, fitness apps) leads to improved health outcomes, and, if so, what features predict users’ tracking consistency? Provides causal evidence that tracking consistency (i.e., frequency, consistency) in itself yields measurable health outcomes (i.e., weight loss) and develops a scalable strategy for predicting user tracking.
