Sponsor's own description
We conducted a 3-month RCT with 30 adolescents (aged 13-15 years) and their caregivers to evaluate the effectiveness of the novel mHealth app "CommitFit", which uses gamification to motivate users to log and achieve health behavior goals. The RCT had three arms: (1) CommitFit only users, (2) CommitFit$, adolescents were paid $0.05 for each point they earned, and (3) Control. Software analytics, surveys, BMI, and blood pressure were evaluated at baseline, 3 months, and 4 months.
