NCT ID NCT05562427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand why people on a weight loss program sometimes break their diet rules (called 'lapses'). Researchers will use smartphone surveys and wrist sensors to track behaviors, feelings, and surroundings in 150 adults with obesity. The goal is to identify patterns of lapses, so future treatments can be more personalized and effective.
