Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital M-health application-based intervention program designed to enhance physical activity and clinical nutrition among university students as part of advancing science and technology in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The study employed a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest format, with participants randomly selected from eligible students. The intervention consisted of a science- and technology-driven digital M-health program integrating physical activities and nutrition education. Results showed significant improvements in physical fitness and dietary habits because digital technology provided accessible, personalized, and data-driven health solutions that facilitated behaviour change. The integration of digital systems into health interventions demonstrates substantial potential to promote healthier lifestyles, contributes to SDG achievement, and support long-term well-being. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
