Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, interventional pilot project of early detection of childhood overweight and the prevention of obesity in the Czech Republic.

The main goal of the project is to methodically prepare, implement and evaluate a pilot project that will verify the suitability of the proposed procedure of early detection of childhood overweight and the prevention of obesity and setting up and testing new methods and implementation into the system of health care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, interventional pilot project of early detection of childhood overweight and the prevention of obesity in the Czech Republic.

The aim of the project is to prepare and test innovative tools for optimization of health parameters in childhood, including the preparation of a general health prevention program for obesity as one of the main predeterminants of negative health development in the child population. The primary measurable clinical goal of the project is a 5% reduction in Body mass index (BMI) in children after completing the one-year program.

The project will engage approximately 1,000 overweight children aged 6-11 years in an innovative, gamified experience promoting a healthy lifestyle. Each child will receive a fitness bracelet to monitor their physical activity, while a fun, interactive mobile app will motivate them through challenges and games to maintain a balanced energy level. Additionally, the whole family will benefit from educational resources on a web portal, encouraging a playful and supportive approach to adopting healthier habits together.

The project is supported by the European Social Fund (Operational Program Employment plus) and the state budget of the Czech Republic and is registered by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic under ID: CZ.03.02.02/00/22\_005/0003842.

Study is conducted at approximately 100 sites across Czechia. For a complete list of study sites, please contact the overall study coordinator.

Overweight Children

Overweight children aged 6-11 years who will receive a fitness bracelet and use a gamified mobile app to encourage physical activity and healthy habits through interactive challenges and rewards.

Group Type OTHER

Motivation Engagement for Movement and Interactive Nutrition Development

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention includes using of fitness bracelets, a gamified mobile app, a web portal, and regular pediatric check-ups to support healthy habits in overweight children (6-11 years). The bracelets track physical activity, while the mobile app monitors energy balance, encouraging movement and healthy eating through challenges and rewards. The web portal provides family education, and pediatric check-ups track progress and overall health outcomes.
