Summary

This study tests a video-based lifestyle program for adults aged 50 to 74 who are overweight and have a condition like prediabetes, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Participants follow a self-directed program with or without a coach via video or phone, and use a smart scale and activity tracker. The goal is to see if coaching helps people lose more weight and improve health, and whether this approach can be easily delivered through a patient's online health portal.
