mHealth Applications for Weight Management

This study is looking at how well a mobile health app called Healthi helps people who are overweight or have obesity manage their weight. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 64 years old, have a BMI of 25 or higher, own a smartphone, and have a bathroom scale. The study will measure changes in your body weight and how confident you feel about managing your weight after 3 months. It will also check for long-term changes in diabetes by measuring your fasting blood sugar after 3 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
