NoObesity Family app functional overview.

App function	Purpose	Outcome
Set family goals	This function enables families to set behavioral goals to support them in their health and wellbeing. This function takes them through a Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, Timed, Evaluated, Reviewed (SMARTER) process to make plans and set goals.	Families set goals using a SMARTER process that is part of the MECC program.
Record family progress	This function allows families to record how they have been progressing with family goals and enables them to evaluate and review their goals if they have not progressed as expected.	Families are able to record their progress and review their goals.
Update photo	This function is in place for families to be able to upload pictures of themselves doing healthy things. This could be a meal they have cooked, pictures of them on a health walk, etc.	This is used as an engagement tool allowing families to upload photos of things they have done as a way of encouraging them to come back to the app.
Family survey	This function supports families to take stock of where they are around a number of health-related areas. The family survey includes the following questions: How much water do you drink? How much fruit do you eat? How many vegetables do you eat? How much physical activity do you do? How much sleep do you have? How much screen time do you have? How often do you brush your teeth? How happy do you feel? What is your body size? These questions can be completed by more than one person, so you could end up with a health survey for all members of the family. Once the survey is completed, the app will prompt families to think about setting a goal around one of the areas of the health survey (if they have scored low on it).	It enables collection of baseline data to allow for comparison of change.
Healthy choices & healthy challenges	This function is the same as in the Professional app.	It enables families to learn about the Eatwell Plate and about physical activity.
Parent’s survival guide	This function supports families in thinking about how they can overcome the challenges that they face when supporting their children around healthy eating, etc.	Families gain solutions on how they could approach issues and challenges using a MECC approach.
Useful links	This function is the same as in the Professional app.	It enables families to learn about other resources available to support their health and wellbeing.
