UCLA-Backed mHealth Clinical Trial Shows Promise in Improving Women’s Health and Wellness
Preliminary results from a UCLA-backed clinical trial involving 40 young black women show promise for fitness and diet tracking smartphone applications to improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels, eating and exercise habits and to reduce levels of anxiety and stress. The trial, which will continue over the next year, equipped women with custom Android phones that were loaded with an app that asked women about their daily eating habits and tracked their daily exercise.
