Using Behavioural Economics for More Sustainable Physical Activity mHealth Incentives: the Caterpillar App

Physical Inactivity Clinical Trial

Official title:
Applying Behavioural Economics for More Sustainable Physical Activity Incentives: A 12-week Pilot Feasibility Trial of the Caterpillar App in Leeds, UK

Clinical Trial Summary

This 12-week study aims to test a sustainable incentive-based physical activity app program that may lower the size of incentive needed to stimulate physical activity and drive incentive costs down. Following the 5-day starting assessment (baseline) period, participants will be able to earn incentives in the form of loyalty points when they reach their daily step goals set by the Caterpillar app. Over the course of the 12-week study period, users will be rewarded for reaching their step goals through three different incentive programs in 30 day intervals: Month 1 (users will earn daily rewards of 3¢ per day upon achieving personalized daily step goal); Month 2 (users will earn weekly rewards (25¢ per week goal met 5+ times); Month 3 (users will earn team-based rewards (35¢ per week if 10+ goals are reached collaboratively with another user).
