Summary

This study tests a smartphone program called Smart Walk, designed specifically for African American women who are not very active. The program includes an app, virtual coaching, and text messages to encourage more physical activity. Researchers want to see if it helps women exercise more and lowers their risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Participants will use the program for several months and have their activity and health measured.
