This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a smartwatch-based program can help people who are overweight or obese and have early signs of heart disease—like slightly high blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol—make lasting healthy changes. Half the participants will use a smartwatch and a mobile app to track their diet, activity, sleep, and vital signs with support from their healthcare provider, while the other half will receive standard health education alone. The study will follow everyone for one year to see which approach works better.
Many people have warning signs of future heart disease but haven't developed the disease yet—a critical moment when lifestyle changes could prevent serious illness. This trial tests whether using wearable technology and mobile apps can make it easier for people to stick with healthy habits compared to standard advice alone.

If you join the intervention group, you will wear a smartwatch and use a mobile app for six months to track your diet, physical activity, sleep, weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar, with regular support from a healthcare provider and in-person health education. After six months, you'll continue using the smartwatch and app for another six months with less frequent provider contact. If you're in the standard care group, you'll attend face-to-face health education sessions throughout the year. Everyone will have follow-up visits and tests at 3, 6, and 12 months to measure changes in heart health markers.
