2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Step TrackingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will track their physical activity in steps using an accelerometer for a period of 6 months. Participants will monitor their overall step-count using the accelerometer, and daily and weekly summaries of their progress provided by the experimenters.
Group II: Water TrackingActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will track their water-intake using a smart water bottle for a period of 6 months. Participants will monitor their overall water consumption using a smart water bottle, and daily and weekly summaries of their progress provided by the experimenters.
