What is the primary aim of this clinical exploration?

"As the primary outcome of this evaluation, participants' Life's Essential 8 component will be tracked and recorded over a period of 3 months from Baseline. Secondary outcomes such as self-directed Exercise Sessions confirmed by Fitbit activity tracker data, Functional Capacity measured with Six-Minute walk test examining blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and pulse post walking for 6 minutes at normal pace; Health-related Quality Of Life changes from baseline assessed using Short Form [SF]-12 Health Survey - 12 items having response categories between 2 to 6 point scale raw scores ranging from 1 to 6 which are linearly transformed into 0-100 scales with higher score indicating better"
