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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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
- 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).
