RIDE
Participants randomized to utilize the RIDE e-health application for the duration of the 12 week intervention. RIDE e-health application: The RIDE e-Health application utilizes the latest technology to obtain near real-time food intake, body weight, and exercise data from participants living in their natural environment. The application also provides personalized and timely feedback and treatment recommendations based on participants' data. The application relies on the Remote Food Photography Method (Martin, 2009), which was developed by our research team, to collect freeliving food intake data that is transmitted to the researchers in near realtime using a camera and Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. A scale is used to collect daily body weight data from participants and these data are automatically transmitted to the researchers via the same cell phone. The e-Health application collects exercise data from participants and these data are delivered to the researchers via the internet; personalized feedback and treatment recommendations are sent to the participant every 1 to 3 days via the cell phone.
Control
Participants assigned to the Health-Ed (control) group will receive health information via the cell phone throughout the 84-day study. We have generated numerous health information tips for other studies on a variety of topics, including stress management, the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables, etc. \[6-9\]. These lessons will be modified for delivery via cell phone. We have found that participants assigned to these health information control groups report being satisfied with the information and their assignment. Importantly, our data also indicate that such health information results in very little behavior change or weight loss, e.g., \[6\].
