Smartphone support vs. basic education: which better prevents baby obesity?

NCT ID NCT04042467

Summary

This study compared two methods to prevent obesity in children during their first two years of life. Researchers worked with 900 families with newborns, testing whether basic healthy lifestyle education alone worked better than that same education plus smartphone-based support tools. The goal was to see if extra digital support between doctor visits helped families make healthier choices for their babies.
