Official title
US-based Clinical Sub-study of DASH-Obesity: Explainable AI for Family-Centric Transdiagnostic Personalized Weight Control Across Multiple Conditions
Overview
This prospective single-arm feasibility study evaluates the Adhera Caring Digital Program for Obesity (ACDP-O), a family-centered digital health intervention designed to support adolescents and young adults with overweight/obesity and chronic conditions, including type 1 diabetes (T1D) and asthma. The intervention combines personalized educational content, wearable-device monitoring, psychometric assessments, and explainable artificial intelligence (AI) to improve mental well-being, quality of life, and adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors. A total of 280 families will participate in a 3-month intervention with remote monitoring and follow-up assessments.
Detailed description
The DASH-Obesity clinical sub-study investigates the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the Adhera Caring Digital Program for Obesity (ACDP-O) among families of adolescents and young adults affected by overweight/obesity and chronic conditions.
The intervention utilizes a mobile digital health platform that integrates educational content, behavioral support, psychometric monitoring, wearable-generated digital biomarkers, and explainable AI-based analytics. Participants include adolescents and young adults with overweight/obesity and type 1 diabetes, overweight/obesity and asthma, and a comparison cohort of participants with type 1 diabetes and normal weight.
The study follows a prospective, single-arm, pre-post basket trial design. Participants will complete baseline assessments, engage with the intervention for 90 days, and complete post-intervention and follow-up assessments. Outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, mental well-being, quality of life, caregiver burden, usability, engagement, and disease-specific clinical measures.
Interventions
