Functions of Smartphone Apps and Wearable Devices Promoting Physical Activity: Six-Month Longitudinal Study on Japanese-Speaking Adults
The results highlight the importance of continued app use in both increasing and maintaining PA levels. Different app functions may contribute to these outcomes, with features such as goal setting and journaling playing a key role in increasing PA, while functions related to overall health, such as sleep tracking and blood pressure monitoring, are more associated with maintaining high PA levels.
