Summary

This study will examine the effects of a smartphone-based lifestyle medicine (LM) for improving psychological well-being in Chinese population. Since a range of lifestyle factors are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of common mental disorders (e.g., depression and anxiety), modifying different lifestyle factors simultaneously may be effective to improve our psychological well-being. Chinese dietary recommendations will be integrated into the app to increase the acceptability towards mental health intervention. Through this study, we aim to promote evidence-based patient care and to improve help-seeking and access to evidence-based interventions for improving psychological well-being.
