This study investigated the impact of the Roadmap mobile health app on the mental health of nearly 2,000 college students. The app offers positive psychology activities and integrates with wearable sensors for data collection. Among participants, consistent app users showed increased positive mood and reduced anxiety, correlating with flourishing. Though preliminary, results indicate that mHealth interventions could significantly support college students' mental well-being.
