This study is testing a smartphone app designed to help teenagers monitor and improve their daily health habits. The app tracks your steps, weight, sleep, and food intake using artificial intelligence and connects to a smart scale you can use at home. Researchers want to see if using this app for one month helps young people develop healthier routines and prevent type 2 diabetes.
Many Hispanic teenagers struggle with obesity and are at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

If you join, you'll receive a smartphone app and a bluetooth-enabled scale to use at home for 30 days. Each day, you'll be asked to use the app to log what you eat, check your weight on the scale, and view your daily steps and activity. Once a week, you'll answer questions about your sleep. The app will show you trends and tips to help you develop healthier habits around diet, exercise, and rest.
