Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to learn if a smartwatch that measures activity level and body composition, combined with exercise reminders, can safely improve strength and muscle mass in people who recently started or are planning to start treatment with incretin therapy (liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide), also known as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications.
