DIAMANTE Step Tracking

DIAMANTE is a mobile app created by Adrian Aguilera, Courtney Lyles, and Audacious Software and is used in the Diabetes and Mental Health Adaptive Notification Tracking and Evaluation (DIAMANTE) Study to understand how text messaging programs can be used to increase physical activity.

DIAMANTE builds upon our past work deploying mobile messaging technologies to encourage healthy living and positive behavior change in physical and mental health settings.

DIAMANTE integrates with the Health app and HealthKit to retrieve your daily and historical step counts. This information is used to gather additional step counts from other devices and services utilizing HealthKit.
