NCT ID NCT06208345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an eHealth app that coaches parents can help lower the energy balance in children aged 2-6 who are already above the 97th BMI percentile. About 148 families will be randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to see if the app can reduce the child's calorie intake relative to their energy use, potentially preventing future obesity and related health problems.
