Since publicizing the research on July 18, I’ve been able to enroll 17 of 20 potential participants and have their consent for a first round of interviews. Although they are of different genders, ages, and backgrounds, what they have in common is a love of living in this beautiful land and a passion for integrating physical activity into mobile health intelligence and forming their own exercise habits.

We’re thrilled to let you know that recruitment in our research is now open! Bring your unique stories and ideas to help us round out our interview study on topics of weight issues, physical activity, and the value of mobile health.

Overweight issues are ubiquitous and long-lasting. Yet, most approaches to weight management, such as a healthy diet and regular physical activity, are self-directed. Physical activity, from the simplest of walks to intensive gym workouts, provides varying levels of daily exertion and has become one of the most cost-effective and practical ways for weight loss.
