Mobile Behavioral Activation Program With Wearable Sensors and Secure Activity Verification

United States227,000 participantsStarted 2026-01-25

Plain-language summary

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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults age 18 or older * Owns a compatible smartphone capable of running the study app * Willing to wear a lightweight activity sensor during waking hours (for applicable arms) * Able to read and understand study instructions in English * Willing to complete daily tasks and weekly check-ins through the mobile app * Provides informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition that would prevent use of a mobile app or wearable sensor (e.g., inability to operate a smartphone) * Any condition that would interfere with participation in daily behavioral tasks as determined by the research team * Current participation in another digital-behavioral intervention study * Inability or unwillingness to comply with study procedures * Plans to travel or relocate in a way that would prevent consistent participation during the study period

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
