Brief Summary:
This is a longitudinal study combining objective sensor data, with decision-making games and contextual personality traits to identify patterns in exercise decay. The data generated will be used to build computational models to predict digital personas, and help identify those individuals most likely to abandon exercise goals.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Lifestyle, Sedentary Other: App

Detailed Description:
Interested individuals to be recruited on social media and invited to download the study app. The plain language statement and informed consent are embedded in the app. Once e-consent is obtained, individuals will share their Fitbit data and complete the following questionnaires; Type D Personality, Goal Setting, and Self-Efficacy questionnaire and a decision-making game based on the IGT. After a 6 month time period, they will be requested to retake the questionnaires and decision-making game.
