Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Effectiveness of mHealth apps at changing bodyweight assessed by bodyweight measurements over 6 months
Determine if the mhealth app is an effective weight loss modality compared to standard weight loss program (control) Outcome measure will be body weight in kg
3 months
Self-efficacy in weight management assessed by Weight Management and Nutrition Knowledge questionnaire
Compare and determine which intervention promotes self-efficacy in weight management. Reporting will be on a scale of 0-100, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy
3 months
Long-term change in diabetes via fasting blood glucose
Compare and determine which intervention elicits the most change towards diabetes via fasting blood glucose Outcome measure will be fasting blood glucose
3 months
Quality of Life after using mHealth apps assessed by World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF questionnaire
