What this Trial Is About
The digital version of Holistic Healthy Life Education" (e2HLE) is a holistic, person-centric, multi-component and lifestyle modification intervention that we developed, alongside the WHO integrated care for older people (ICOPE) model and a home-based self-monitoring bio-signals system "Hera Leto". This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of e2HLE intervention for achieving weight loss and enhancing self-care and intrinsic capacity (i.e. psychological and mental wellbeing, vitality and nutritional health) as well as improving cardio-metabolic profiles (e.g. blood pressure and lipid profile) compared to usual care.
