Summary

This study tests whether a digital health program can help 2,000 young people in Egypt (ages 10-24) adopt healthier habits to prevent non-communicable diseases like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. The program uses smartphone tools with nudges, rewards, and goal-setting to encourage physical activity and better eating. Researchers will measure changes in BMI, blood pressure, and blood sugar over one year.
