my snapp is a health and lifestyle application to promote healthy lifestyle, particularly around nutrition and physical activity. my snapp allows users to easily set goals for diet and physical activity, track progress over time and access useful resources. The content of the application was developed by Health e-Literacy for Prevention in General Practice (HeLP-GP) researchers from the University of New South Wales, University of Adelaide, Sydney University, CSIRO and Macquarie University. The features of the app are based on evidence addressing lifestyle behaviour change and will assist the user to make positive changes which will reduce their weight and the risk of developing other health conditions.
