Summary

This study tests whether a three-month smartphone-supported walking program can improve daily step counts, psychological well-being, and body composition in adults with cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes. Participants use the Walk15 app to set personalized step goals and track progress. The goal is to increase walking by about 1,000 steps per day, with outcomes measured before and after the program.
