AGILE Trial Summary

This trial will test a new digital health tool, Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI), to see if it can help people lose weight more effectively than existing remotely delivered interventions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults with a BMI of 25-45 who own a smartphone and are willing to be randomly assigned to different digital weight loss interventions. They should exercise less than 210 minutes per week but can't have lost significant weight recently or have certain medical conditions like heart issues, recent psychiatric hospitalization, or active cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests various components of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) for obesity. It aims to find the most effective combination of personalized feedback and adaptive goals using mobile technology to help participants lose weight comparably to in-person programs.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include typical responses to dieting and increased physical activity such as muscle soreness, fatigue, hunger pangs, or psychological stress from behavior change.
