Study Summary
This trial will examine three tracking strategies for weight loss delivered through digital health tools to see which combination is most effective.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18+ with a BMI of 25.0 to 45.0 kg/m^2, owning a smartphone and willing to use an app for weight loss are eligible. They must speak English, have email access, and be interested in losing weight through behavioral strategies without using weight loss medications or having had bariatric surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing three digital self-monitoring methods for weight loss: tracking diet, steps, and body weight over six months. Participants will receive core treatment remotely and may also get an orientation video to see if it helps with staying in the study.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a non-medical intervention focusing on behavior changes through digital tools, there aren't typical side effects like those seen with medication; however, participants might experience fatigue or stress from regular self-monitoring.
