This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether using fun, technology-based tools—like podcasts about nutrition, games, and virtual reality experiences—can help children develop healthier eating habits and prevent weight gain. About 215 children will participate, with half receiving the tech-based program and half receiving traditional printed educational materials about nutrition.
Childhood obesity is a growing health problem worldwide, especially in Spain where nearly 4 in 10 schoolchildren have excess weight. Researchers want to see if modern technology can make it easier and more engaging for kids to learn about healthy eating and build lasting healthy habits.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either the technology group or the traditional materials group. The tech group will access podcasts about healthy eating, play nutrition-focused games, and explore virtual reality experiences about making healthy food choices. Both groups will have their weight, height, and other health measurements taken at the start and end of the study, and may be asked to track physical activity. The study takes place at your school.
