Participants are asked to work on improving their lifestyle. They have access to an online community throughout the study, where they can get in touch with other participants within their research-arm. Participants are also asked to attend twelve online group sessions, during which a lifestyle coach will explain more about nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, social aspects, challenges and setbacks, and long-term maintenance.

Idem to arm one, supplemented with a virtual AI lifestyle coach. The AI lifestyle coach can process all the information about the participant that was provided at baseline. This information is compiled into a participant profile, which the AI lifestyle coach uses to initiate personalised conversations with the participant. During these conversations, the AI lifestyle coach supports the participant through a structured coaching cycle of three phases: preparation (reflecting on what matters and co-creating a personalised plan), coaching (day-to-day support to work on the plan), and evaluation (reviewing progress and adjusting or renewing the plan). The coach draws on an evidence-based knowledge base of lifestyle interventions to recommend appropriate, evidence-informed actions. The use of the AI lifestyle coach is an additional topic to the online group sessions.

Idem to arm two, but participants are also asked to wear an CGM four times for two consecutive weeks. The glucose values information collected by the CGM is used by the AI lifestyle coach to make conversations with the participant even more personalized. The use of CGMs is an additional topic to the online group sessions.
