Design and Implementation of a Mobile App for Promoting Healthy and Sustainable Eating Among Students at the University of Parma (MAPHealthS)

"This intervention is uniquely characterized by:~Dual Health-Sustainability Focus - Unlike most nutrition apps targeting weight loss, this integrates planetary health metrics (e.g., carbon/water footprints) alongside dietary guidance.~Psychobehavioral Personalization - Content is tailored to four predefined user profiles (e.g., Convenience-Seeker, Health-Conscious) identified through baseline questionnaires, adapting messaging strategies (e.g., time-saving tips vs. environmental appeals).~Biomarker-Validated Outcomes - Unlike apps relying solely on self-reports, efficacy is assessed via objective measures (urinary LC-MS metabolomics, fecal microbiota analysis).~Academic Development - Designed by nutrition scientists + AI engineers (University of Parma), with recipes aligned to Mediterranean/Planetary Diet standards"
