Dietary monitoring for assessing Metabolic Syndrome risk

CoDiet Pilot Trial


In this study, we are looking at the effectiveness of using health and dietary monitoring technologies to prevent diet-related diseases such as metabolic syndrome.

Currently we are seeking volunteers to take part in a pilot study.

Participants will be asked to track their dietary intake, physical activity and sleeping patterns by technologies. They will have their body composition and general health assessed by specialists in the field.

All participants will receive €140 upon completion of the study.
