Enhancing Healthy Longevity in At-Risk Midlife Women With Abdominal Obesity: A Digital Phenotyping Commitment Device on Improving Visceral Body Fat Mass, Menopausal Symptoms and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Sponsor: National University Health System, Singapore
Summary
The goal of this observational longitudinal study is to understand how lifestyle behaviours, menopausal symptoms, and digital health data change over time in women experiencing perimenopause or menopause, and to evaluate whether a personalised digital health programme can support healthier lifestyle behaviours and improve cardiometabolic health. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can personalised lifestyle recommendations informed by wearable devices, dietary logging, and self-reported symptoms improve adherence to healthy diet, physical activity, and sleep behaviours? 2. How are menopausal symptoms associated with changes in cardiometabolic health, body composition, physical function, and quality of life over time? Participants will: 1. Attend study visits at the National University of Singapore for health assessments, including measurements of body composition, physical function, and cardiometabolic health. 2. Wear a smartwatch or wearable device to monitor physiological and activity data throughout the study. 3. Use a mobile application to record dietary intake, menopausal symptoms, and other health-related information. 4. Receive personalised lifestyle recommendations based on their health data and engage in regular follow-up assessments over the study period.

Participants will be required to download and set up an app on your smartphone and complete a short health goal-setting exercise. They will be asked to respond to brief check-in questions through the app at least three times a day regarding energy levels, mood, appetite, and any symptoms such as hot flushes or sleep difficulties. Participant will then receive short personalised messages through the app based on wearables data and responses to support in managing symptoms and maintaining healthy habits. The app will send reminders if it receives no response to the prompts. They will also be able to view a personalised health dashboard on the app, updated regularly as device data syncs.
