5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test in overweight and inactive adults whether the new PAI eHealh APP leads to better adherence to a physical activity regimen than the wearable step counter App from the market leader FitBit, and to evaluate if improved adherence will be reflected in a better cardiovascular profile in this group.
