Study of a New Behavioral and Technology-Based Approach to Weight Loss in Adults Aged 18 to 40

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how combining a behavioral intervention with technology may impact weight loss in young adults who are overweight or obese. This study aims to address the public health challenges of obesity and related cardiometabolic risks by exploring new effective strategies for weight loss. The trial focuses on adults aged 18 to 40 years who have stable weight and are interested in using digital tools to support their goals. Participants will be involved in a 6-month program where they receive diet and exercise coaching from trained professionals. They will regularly record their weight using a digital scale, track their daily food intake through a smartphone app, and wear a wrist activity monitor to measure physical activity. The intervention includes up to five daytime clinic visits with blood draws and surveys, and personalized guidance from a coach to help maintain progress. Throughout the study, participants will attend scheduled visits to provide blood samples and complete questionnaires while their weight and activity data are continuously monitored. The primary measure is weight loss from the start of the study to six months. Safety and adherence will be tracked, and participants will be supported in their lifestyle changes during the entire period of involvement.
