Assessment

Primary outcomes

1) Application Installation Rate
The proportion of participants who installed the application during the study period among the total number of study participants. This outcome indicates the acceptability of the intervention.

2) Application Usage Rate
The proportion of participants who used the application at least three times during the 12-week study period from baseline among those who installed the application. This rate will be calculated based on application log data (number of logins, number of usage sessions, and frequency of function use) and reflects sustained acceptability and practical usability.
