Association between behavioral phenotypes and sustained use of smartphones and wearable devices to remotely monitor physical activity

Abstract Smartphones and wearable devices can be used to remotely monitor health behaviors, but little is known about how individual characteristics influence sustained use of these devices. Leveraging data on baseline activity levels and demographic, behavioral, and psychosocial traits, we used lat...
