There is growing interest in the use of text message (SMS) interventions to deliver more effective health promotion messages to a broader audience. Tailoring such communications to reach people on an emotional level has been reported to be effective. Studying psychophysiological responses (e.g. electrodermal activity (EDA) and facial electromyography (fEMG)) may help us understand the emotional significance of a text message. This should help us develop more emotionally appealing text messages with increased impact on important health and lifestyle problems
