Summary
This trial will study if using a mobile health app helps people with overweight/obesity lose weight and improve their health. Participants must use the app daily and track weight/blood glucose.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-64 who are overweight or obese (BMI ≥ 25), own a smartphone, and have access to a bathroom scale. It's not suitable for those on medications that affect weight like certain diabetes treatments or drugs that promote weight gain such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, and steroids.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of an mHealth app called Healthi in managing weight over six months. Participants will use the app daily, track their weight each morning, and monitor fasting blood glucose levels.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using an mHealth application rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or frustration if they do not see desired results.
