Abstract: Preschool age is a great time to learn a healthy lifestyle, for behavior therapy. Mobile health procedures are inexpensive, reliable, and accessible. This project has two phases. The KidFood mobile game and two nutrition knowledge questionnaires were designed during the first phase. In the second phase, a six-month, parallel, blinded, randomized controlled trial will perform on 120 Iranian children aged 5 to 6 years. Before and after nutritional education via KidFood, the dietary habits, the nutritional knowledge of parents and children, and the anthropometric indices of children will be evaluated.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (© 2023 Published by Elsevier B.V.)
