Study Summary

This trial tests if a new tool can help people lose weight, by giving tailored advice based on reinforcement learning.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-55 with a BMI of 25-40 who are not meeting US physical activity guidelines, can speak and write English, have no major health issues that limit exercise, and own a smartphone. Excluded are those on weight loss meds, pregnant or planning pregnancy soon, with certain medical conditions like diabetes requiring insulin treatment or recent cancer treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The ADAPT study is testing the AdaptRL tool over 12 weeks to see if it helps people lose weight by suggesting personalized behavior change techniques. It builds on an existing approach that adjusts support based on how individuals respond to different contexts in real-time.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. There might also be psychological impacts from changing diet and activity habits.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: ADAPT interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive a smart scale and a physical activity tracker and will have three daily goals: weigh daily, a daily personalized active minutes goal, and a daily calorie goal. For 12 weeks, participants will receive 0-3 text messages per day about their behaviors and progress towards their goals which they will be able to rate (like/dislike), along with weekly personalized feedback, progress graphs, and lessons and resources available on the website.
