Summary

This study tested a virtual health program for African immigrants aged 25-75 who had at least two risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. Participants used Bluetooth scales and blood pressure monitors to track their health over 6 months. The program was delivered through two African churches in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. area. The goal was to see if the program could help people better manage their health conditions.
