Summary

This project aims to compare the effectiveness of Wellnuts, an evidence-based, algorithm-driven self-health assessment mobile application, in empowering asymptomatic young-to-midlife adults in Hong Kong, promoting health awareness, and improving health-seeking behaviour and linkage-to-care, compared with conventional web-based health resources. Participants will be randomly allocated to the mobile health intervention group (Wellnuts app with self-health assessment and health information) and the conventional web-based resources control group (health information from Centre for Health Protection website). Hopefully, population health will be improved with the general health promotion impact from the app.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Wellnuts app intervention

The app adopts an evidence-based and algorithm-driven self-health assessment approach. It is designed to help participants assess their health risks, increase health awareness and encourage appropriate health-seeking behaviour. The app provides self-health assessment related to common health conditions and modifiable behavioural risk factors. Participants assessed as "at-risk" are provided with relevant recommendations, including recommended tests and follow-up actions where appropriate.

OTHER

Web-based health resources

Conventional web-based health resources are from the Centre for Health Protection website which was run by the Department of Health (https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/healthtopics/25/index.html). These resources provide general health information and links to relevant support groups.
