What this trial studies

The DRIVE pilot will implement data-driven, personalized lifestyle coaching in a rural outpatient context. It combines genomic, clinical, behavioral, and functional information to tailor wellness interventions. The study will evaluate feasibility, recruitment and engagement factors, and potential health improvements, informing future precision health research in similar communities. Outcomes include cardiometabolic, cognitive, mental health, and functional measures, collected over a four-month period. Key questions address data utility, biomarker relevance in rural populations, and scalable engagement frameworks.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improvements in physical and mental health, with insights to guide scalable rural precision health approaches.

How similar studies have gone: Prior lifestyle interventions show variable success; this study explores a data-driven, rural-focused approach that is relatively novel in integrating genomic and environmental data.
