Digital health program aims to ease menopause symptoms and cut heart risk in women with abdominal obesity
NCT ID NCT07713862
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized digital health program — using a smartphone app, wearable devices, and lifestyle coaching — can help midlife women with abdominal obesity improve their diet, physical activity, sleep, and menopausal symptoms. Participants will wear a smartwatch, log food and symptoms in an app, and receive tailored recommendations. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce belly fat and improve heart health during the menopause transition.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a non-drug way to help midlife women manage menopausal symptoms and reduce heart disease risk.
- What could go wrong
