Smartphone App–Based Survey Deployment Patterns Improve Longitudinal Response Rates in Older Adults: An RCT
Introduction Digital health research increasingly relies on smartphone-based surveys to monitor health trajectories in real time. While this approach offers timely data with reduced recall bias, maintaining engagement over months or years remains a core challenge, especially among older adults with chronic conditions. Previous studies have highlighted survey fatigue and higher dropout rates in mobile…

Smartphone Survey Deployment Patterns and Response Rates in Older Adults: An RCT
Introduction Smartphone-enabled data collection is transforming health research by enabling frequent, real-time assessments. In digital health studies, however, maintaining engagement over time is a persistent challenge, especially among older adults who may face usability and cognitive barriers. A growing body of evidence suggests that survey deployment patterns—how often surveys are delivered and in how many…

WExercise: A Smartphone App to Boost Physical Activity Among Cancer Survivors — Randomized Trial
Overview: Harnessing a smartphone app to promote physical activity in cancer survivorship Cancer survivors often face ongoing physical and psychological challenges that can hinder regular physical activity (PA). In response, researchers developed WExercise, a smartphone app rooted in the Multi-Process Action Control (M-PAC) framework to promote PA among survivors. The study reporting these findings is…

WExercise App Promotes Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Trial
Overview Cancer survivors face unique health challenges, including fatigue, reduced physical function, and mental distress. Physical activity (PA) is a safe, evidence-based strategy that can mitigate these burdens and improve quality of life. The WExercise app—a smartphone-based program grounded in the multi-process action control (M-PAC) framework—was designed to promote PA among cancer survivors. This randomized…

WExercise: A Smartphone App to Promote Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors—An RCT
Overview Cancer survivors face ongoing health challenges, with physical activity (PA) firmly established as a safe and beneficial intervention. To address suboptimal PA levels, researchers developed WExercise, a smartphone app grounded in the multi‑process action control (M-PAC) framework. An assessor‑blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) tested whether WExercise could effectively promote PA, improve exercise capacity, and…
