NCT ID NCT06656273
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a habit-formation smartphone app could help adults with prediabetes stay engaged in the National Diabetes Prevention Program. Researchers compared how many classes people attended and how long they stayed in the program between those who used the app and those who did not. The goal was to see if the app improves participation and weight loss in underserved communities.
