Through the HealthyHoods App, users can document and share information about their neighborhood, helping to identify factors that encourage or restrict healthy living. This Citizen Science initiative fosters a community-based approach, where local stakeholders, citizens, and researchers work together to develop innovative solutions that improve the awareness and knowledge of healthy lifestyles in communities.
The data collected through the Healthy Hoods App is used to create collaborative strategies for increasing citizens' understanding of healthy living, with support from public and private stakeholders. By involving the community in data collection, HealthyHoods helps generate practical solutions to enhance the neighborhood's ability to support healthy habits.
