Summary

This study tests whether mobile health technology, like smartphone apps and activity trackers, can help overweight or obese African American women increase their physical activity. Participants will wear a wrist device to track steps and sleep, use a study app, and may receive coaching or home health devices. The goal is to see if these tools can reduce obesity and improve cardiovascular health in communities with limited resources.
