Detailed Description

The purpose of this randomized study is to assess the efficacy of a mobile application for the improvement of blood pressure and insulin resistance in people with metabolic syndrome.

This study is a 24 week follow up randomized prevention trial. Participants visit for a screening test, then eligible participants are randomly assigned for one of the following arms; 1 intervention group using a mobile application to monitor their life style behaviors, 1 intervention group using a mobile application for personal coaching on purpose of improving their life style behavior, and 1 control group providing education about managing life style behaviors.

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Actual Enrollment :
129 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental conditions (mobile application), or the usual condition (education).Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental conditions (mobile application), or the usual condition (education).
Masking:
Double (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Masking Description:
A designated researcher will be responsible for the random allocation and mask the results, so the investigators and the outcomes assessor do know the which group the participants are been allocated in.
Primary Purpose:
Prevention

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Other: No intervention (Education)

Participants in this group is provided education. Education includes information of metabolic syndrome, methods to manage lifestyle (diet, physical activity).

Other: Education
Participants in this group is provided education. Education includes information of metabolic syndrome, methods to manage lifestyle (diet, physical activity).

Experimental: Mobile Application (Self monitoring)

Participants in this group will be introduced to use a mobile application to self record and monitor their life style behaviors. They will be also be provided education same as the control group.

Other: Mobile application for self monitoring
Participants in this group will be introduced to use a mobile application to self record and monitor their life style behaviors. They will be also be provided education same as the control group.

Experimental: Mobile Application (Personal coaching)

Participants in this group will be introduced to use a mobile application. Personal coaches such as dietitian, sports manager encourage to improve their life style behaviors. They will be also be provided education same as the control group.

Other: Mobile application for personal coaching
Participants in this group will be introduced to use a mobile application. Personal coaches such as dietitian, sports manager encourage to improve their life style behaviors. They will be also be provided education same as the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in systolic/diastolic blood pressures [24 weeks]

    Change of systolic/diastolic blood pressures and insulin resistance are the differences between the last visit and baseline (screening visit).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in the eligibility criteria for metabolic syndrome [24 weeks]

    Change of metabolic profiles are the differences between the last visit and baseline (screening visit).
