This trial is testing a new approach to help people with metabolic syndrome—a condition that increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. If you're selected for the intervention group, you'll watch an educational video, receive a written walking plan (150 minutes per week), get a Fitbit device to track your activity, receive healthy eating resources, and get text message reminders over 3 months, plus a referral to a special health clinic.
Many people with metabolic syndrome don't get the support they need to make healthy changes. This trial wants to see if catching people in the emergency department and giving them immediate tools and encouragement can help them succeed in exercising more and eating better.

If you're in the intervention group, you'll watch a brief educational video while in the emergency department, receive a written walking prescription and healthy eating information, and be given a Fitbit device to wear. Over the next 3 months, you'll receive text message reminders encouraging you to walk and make healthy choices, and you'll have a follow-up visit at a specialized health clinic. The control group will receive their usual care and a Fitbit device only, with no additional guidance.
