Summary

This study is testing a mobile app called Adhera Caring Digital Program for Obesity (ACDP-O) in 280 families. The app provides personalized education, mental health monitoring, and wearable device integration to support weight management and well-being in adolescents and young adults with obesity and chronic conditions like type 1 diabetes or asthma. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it improves mental health, quality of life, and healthy behaviors over three months.
