Mobile-Based Ecological Momentary Intervention for Improving Physical Activity in Adults Without Regular Physical Activity: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ecological momentary intervention (EMI) is one of the most promising digital-primarily mobile-interventions to enhance physical activity (PA) and other health behaviors. It is a combination of ecological momentary assessment (EMA), in which participants are prompted to indicate their momentary states and ongoing behaviors in daily life, and the just-in-time delivery of interventions tailored to the EMA responses. The EMI has typically been implemented in message-based interventions (eg, activity recommendations tailored to users' physical locations), but its efficacy and feasibility have not been sufficiently established because of the variability in design and implementation.

Objective

This pilot, two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial aimed to b
