Summary
This study tests whether a smartwatch-based program, combined with coaching from healthcare staff, can improve heart health in overweight or obese adults who have early signs of problems like high blood pressure or prediabetes. The program focuses on exercise and diet, and tracks progress using a smartwatch. Researchers will measure changes in a heart health score called Life's Essential 8 over 6 to 12 months. 1,400 participants are being recruited.
