Measure
Fitness Tracker + Social Incentive Intervention
Participants will enroll with a teammate (i.e. family or friend) and collaborate together. Teams will set a daily step goal, receive daily feedback on whether they achieved their goal, and receive a social incentive intervention. Fitness Tracker: Fitness trackers (e.g. Fitbit) are accelerometers that are worn on the wrist and tracks users' heart rate continuously in addition to steps, distance, calories, and active minutes Social Incentive (Way to Health): The Way to Health platform is an automated information technology platform that integrates wireless devices, clinical trial randomization and enrollment processes, messaging (text, e-mail or voice), self-administered surveys, automatic transfers of financial incentives, and secure data capture for research purposes.
