What this trial studies

This intervention aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile health application designed for Hispanic adolescents aged 12-18 who are overweight or obese. The app integrates a Bluetooth-enabled weight scale and utilizes smartphone accelerometer data to track physical activity, sleep, and diet. Participants will engage with the app over a 30-day period, allowing for self-monitoring and goal-setting to promote healthier lifestyle behaviors. The study will assess the effectiveness of this digital tool in managing obesity and preventing type 2 diabetes among this population.
