Summary
This study tests NeoMayor, a smartphone app that gives personalized advice on exercise, diet, sleep, and mood to improve heart health. Researchers will enroll 240 adults aged 55 to 75 in Chile who are at risk for heart problems. Participants use the app for 4 months, and some also get a wearable activity tracker, while a control group receives standard health information.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NeoMayor smartphone app with wearable activity tracker
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, app-based way for older adults to improve their heart health through better lifestyle habits.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 240 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app relies on users sticking with it, and improvements may be small or short-lived.
