Registry summary
The objective of this project is to test the feasibility of using a smartphone app in a community setting through collaborating with community-based organizations. The app is called utmbHealthyBrain and it has three activities: (1) drawing, (2) Tai-Chi and meditation, and (3) prayer reading. It also has a "share" function to enable users to interact with their family and friend. These activities can be translated to humans' well-beings such as a more stable emotion, more muscle movement, and better social engagement. This app does not collect any personal data and users are not required to register an account either. The overall study period is 6 weeks including one introduction session (week 1), four weeks of intervention (week 2 to 5), and final feedback session (week 6).
