Research Participants Needed to Evaluate Fitness Tracking Technology
A fitness tracker from www.Fitbit.com.
The Department of Information Systems at the University of Arkansas is seeking participants for evaluating Fitness Tracking Technology. If you are over the age of 18 and motivated to improve your physical activity level, you may be eligible to participate in the study. The study involves completing brief questionnaires and wearing the fitness tracker (Fitbit Flex) for a week.
Why participate? A one-week free trial of Fitbit Flex (a $100 value fitness tracker), entering a drawing for one of five Fitbit Flex trackers, and contributing to an area of emerging research that could directly affect how fitness trackers are designed.
