Test our mobile health app and get compensated
We are recruiting participants for a 2-week trial of our mobile app designed to promote physical activity and heart health.
Why are we doing this study?
We need your help to create a tool that is both useful and effective for reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
Overall Objective of the Study
The purpose of this study is to gather the experiences and opinions of participants testing out a mobile health application focused on cardiovascular disease health.
Purpose of the mobile health application
This mobile health application was designed to assist individuals in optimizing their cardiovascular health through medication management as well as making positive changes in daily lifestyle habits that are known to reduce cardiovascular disease risk (e.g., increasing physical activity, decreasing sedentary time, consuming a heart-healthy diet, and reducing stress).
Features of the mobile health application
This mobile health application will assist participants in taking medications as they are prescribed, monitoring physical activity and sedentary time, and improving general knowledge on cardiovascular risk factors with a goal of optimizing an individual's cardiovascular health. Designed by a nurse, this mobile health application is a free resource available 24/7 that can be used to assist you in improving your cardiovascular health!
