What this study is about

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of mobile health applications in improving health outcomes in patients with overweight and obesity. This study will involve a 6-month long commitment where participants will be expected to use an mHealth app daily, weigh themselves and check their fasting blood glucose levels every morning.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
