Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the present randomized controlled trial is to explore the effectiveness of a 12-month well woman digital health intervention leveraging Precision Nudging - the application of behavioral science and reinforcement learning to create individualized, tailored health messaging at scale that matches the right message to the right person at the right time - in promoting behavior change. Specifically, it is hypothesized that scaling behavioral science through reinforcement learning will be more effective at motivating participants to engage with well woman messages and to schedule and to attend a well woman visit compared to a standard of care message.
