Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Text intervention messaging will be sent through an automated text messaging service programmed by the CM Informatics team, which has been approved by the institution. Participants will be asked to wear Garmin physical activity monitor to provide physical activity information throughout the intervention. The Garmin is worn like a wristwatch. The device is small and non-intrusive. The Garmin device is a consumer wearable that will automatically detect and track activity such as walking, running, and cycling. The text messages incorporate information from the Garmin monitor to support physical activity.
