Researchers found that these tools can significantly improve health and well-being, by keeping you active, increasing daily steps, and improving diet and sleep.
Specifically, eHealth interventions can help people:
– 1329 additional steps per day.
– 55 additional minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week.
– 45 additional minutes of total physical activity per week.
– 7 hours less of sedentary behavior (prolonged sitting) per week.
– Consume 103 fewer calories per day.
– 20% more fruits and vegetables consumed per day.
– 5.5 grams less of saturated fat consumed per day.
– 1.9 kg of weight loss over 12 weeks.
– Improve sleep quality.
– Fighting insomnia.
Lead researcher Ben Singh, from the University of South Australia, says people’s health behaviours need to change if we are to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases.
“Our study found that digital health interventions can have a positive impact on people’s health and well-being, not only by helping them increase their physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour, but also by improving their diet and sleep quality,” he adds.
The study was published in the journal npj Digital Medicine..
