Study Summary

This is a behavioral study that will examine changes in physical activity and vascular health in response to a digital tool (app) that will appear on participant's lock screen of their Android phone. Participants will be asked to use this app for 3 months and to wear a Fitbit device continuously throughout the study. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires, participate in fitness testing and measures of cardiovascular health at 3 months and 6 months after baseline assessments. The hypothesis is that exposure to the app will lead to increased physical activity volume and improved microvessel function.

Primary Outcome

Change in the total physical activity volume from baseline to 3 months as measured by the Actigraph GT3XP-BTLE (total activity counts)

Interventions

  • DRUG Acetylcholine
  • DRUG Sodium Nitroprusside
  • BEHAVIORAL HeartPhone app
  • DRUG L-Arginine, N2-((4-Methylphenyl)Sulfonyl)-, Methyl Ester
