What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Google-Pixel Watch 3Device
The participant will wear Google-Pixel Watch 3 for at least 10 hours during the 3-month intervention and will receive goal reminders and motivational and coping messages through those watches. At baseline and after 3-months intervention, demographics (standard questionnaire pertaining to subjects' age, sex, race, education and income), technology literacy (eHealth Literacy Scale pertaining to subjects' ability to perform a number of tasks such as turning on the device, using internet and communication), and wearables affinity (pertains to how the subject currently uses wearable in their daily living tasks) will be measured.
Exercise promptsBehavioural
The participants will receive goal reminders.
