The other group uses an enhanced version (DPP++) that also includes a sleep health app and time-restricted eating. The main goal is to see which group loses more weight over six months.

What this could lead to

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added sleep component may not provide extra benefit over the standard program.
