How do I create a SMART Goal? (For iOS and Android)

What is a Smart Goal?

The SMART in SMART goals stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. The SMART Goals feature allows members in every program (e.g., Prevention, Diabetes Type 2 and Hypertension) to choose and track short-term measurable goals.
