What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study evaluates a mobile-integrated behavioral activation program designed to help adults improve their daily productivity, motivation, and task engagement. The program combines a smartphone application, wearable sensor data, and a decentralized data-verification layer to support participants as they build healthier routines and increase consistent daily activity.

Behavioral activation is a well-established psychological approach that encourages individuals to take small, structured actions that align with their goals and values. In this study, participants receive daily prompts, activity suggestions, and personalized behavioral tasks through a mobile app. The app uses information from a wearable sensor-such as movement patterns, activity levels, and environmental cues-to help participants track progress and stay engaged with the program.

A unique feature of this study is the use of decentralized data verification. Participants' activity logs and task completions are recorded in a secure, tamper-resistant system that allows them to maintain control over their own data while ensuring accuracy and transparency. This approach supports participant autonomy and strengthens the reliability of the study's outcome measures.

The study aims to understand whether combining behavioral activation with real-time sensor feedback and decentralized data verification can improve daily productivity, increase follow-through on planned tasks, and support healthier routines. Participants will use the mobile app and wearable device for the duration of the study and will complete periodic check-ins to share their experiences, challenges, and overall satisfaction with the program.

The research team will evaluate changes in daily activity patterns, task completion rates, self-reported productivity, and engagement with the behavioral activation tasks. Findings from this study may help inform future digital health tools that support motivation, routine-building, and personal productivity in everyday life.
