What is it?

DIAMANTE is a free application 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.

The DIAMANTE app will use your mobile device to monitor how many steps you take each day and send you text messages for 6 months (you will be asked to reply to some of the messages).
