Abstract: While many health and fitness smartphone applications exist, not all applications support all data types, which results in fragmented data and reduces the efficacy of BCTs. The purpose of this MQP was to create an application that allows members of the WPI community to aggregate all of their data to get a complete view of their health progress. Consolidating all of one’s health data can help minimize health- related risks, find trends over time, and increase user engagement. Our app includes features that implement several behavioral change mechanisms to help users achieve their health goals. While beta testers found the app useful overall, we also found areas for improvement, which along with ideas for additional features, could serve as the basis for a future project.
