Testing a smart ring for weight loss support
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a smart ring (Oura) to track things like heart rate and sleep helps people lose weight and stay healthy. If eligible, you may be part of a group that gets coaching with or without the ring, and the goal is to see if the ring makes weight loss easier.
