PATHS-UP Mobile Phone Application

Youth in the intervention will be given access to a health-based mobile phone application and a remote bluetooth scale. The app is focused on promoting health education and self-monitoring. For 30 days youth will be asked to engage with content focused on promoting healthy sleep, physical activity, and dietary habits every day. Youth will also be asked to self-monitor health behaviors using the app as it pulls in data on daily steps from the accelerometer embedded within the smartphone, information on weight from daily weigh-ins using the remote scale, sleep via a weekly survey within the app, and caloric intake using a daily food log that is powered through artificial intelligence within the app.
