Version: 3 Date: 07 Apr 2025
Reviewer's report:
I thank the reviewers for careful review of the article. But some concerns are still there which
needed to be addressed.
-The researcher has taken randomization method for the study but still in the methodology the
method of randomization is not clear. that needed to be addressed.
-as it is a single blinded study the blinding method is not mentioned in the study which is a major
part of the methodology.
-the measures to reduce bias as this is a app based study and the persons all were techno save
they were well versed with the app. it was not mentioned that the app was made by the researcher
so that it may be only available to the intervention group.
The limitation did not contain the bias part that needed to be mentioned in the limitation part .
I wish all the best to the writer of the authors.
