The Mobile Lifestyle Intervention for Food and Exercise Study (mLIFE)
The goal of the study is to examine long term sustained weight loss digital intervention in a diverse cohort of adults with overweight/obesity. The intervention includes social gaming (using game-like elements in nongame contexts to promote supportive social interactions and openness to positive behavioral influences) to reward behaviors, such as self-monitoring and social support.
Investigators will accomplish objectives and test hypotheses by following two specific primary aims:
- Determine if the intervention plus gaming produces significantly more weight loss at 12 months than the same intervention without gaming among 240 adults with overweight or obesity and ≥3 T2DM risk factors.
- Examine the differences in social support provision and receipt between groups at 12 months.
Participants will be randomized to one of two groups: 1) a gamified mLIFE app (n=120) or 2) regular mLIFE app (n=120). Participants will attend a study orientation, complete all baseline measures, be randomized, and then attend a training session for their group. In addition, participants will complete assessment at 6 and 12 months.

ExperimentalGamified mLIFE app group Participants allocated to this group will be provided with elements of social gaming and healthy competition within the mLIFE app. | Podcasts and Tips of the Day (Within APP) Participants will receive twice weekly podcasts and daily tips of the day, with nutrition and exercise information, audio diary and goal setting. Mlife APP (Self-regulation Features) Diet (track by in app database), physical activity (tracked with FitBit and synced with mLIFE app), and weight (tracked with FitBit scale and synced with mL app) tracking app components. App notifications and reminders and newsfeeds. Mlife APP (Social Support Features) The gamified mLIFE app contains several components to help facilitate social gaming and support. This includes a newsfeed, to view the progress of other users, the ability to send others encouragement ("likes/thumbs-up") for achieving goals, user-to-user messaging system so active users of the app will be prompted to select send encouraging messages to other group members.
For the experimental group, the app also includes features that facilitate healthy competition among participants through receipt of points for provision of social support and tracking health behaviors. |
Comparador activostandard mLIFE app Participants in this group will receive the same intervention as the experimental group, but some features of the App will not facilitate gaming or competition. | Podcasts and Tips of the Day (Within APP) Participants will receive twice weekly podcasts and daily tips of the day, with nutrition and exercise information, audio diary and goal setting.
