Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to test whether a technology application(Health360x) that lets participants set goals for better health and track health can help participants reduce their heart disease risk. Investigators will compare life style intervention using Health360x alone with Health360xs plus health coach on AHA(American Heart Association) LS7 scores after 6 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Life Simple 7(LS7 the metrics for defining ideal cardiovascular health) score at 6-month follow-up
The LS7 score consists of 4 behavioral and 3 clinical measures. The behavioral measures are smoking, body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity and healthy dietary pattern. The clinical measures are blood pressure, total cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose.Each LS7 component will be given a point score of 0, 1, or 2 to represent poor, intermediate, or ideal health, respectively. Then, an overall LS7 score ranging from 0 to 14 will be calculated as the sum of the LS7 component scores. The overall LS7 score will be further classified as inadequate (0-4), average (5-9), or optimum (10-14) cardiovascular health.

Study Arms (2)
Health360x only (High tech)
ACTIVE COMPARATORAccess to Health360x technology only for 6 months Behavioral: Health360x Participants will receive Access to health360x which provides monitoring, in the moment color coded feedback and goal setting for self- management skills. Every participant will view an orientation video which will include information on how to access Health360 from home and other internet connected devices; how to use activity monitors provided by the study and sphygmomanometer. They will receive an introduction to heart health curriculum, quizzes and discussion forums. Participants will be encouraged to upload their data at least once a week and to access the curriculum as often as desired. Technological and customer service support related to use of the Helath360x application will be available online and by phone. The Health360x application will send messages to participants in this arm reminding them to perform study related activities.
Health360x plus Coach (High tech High touch)
EXPERIMENTALHealth360x technology plus health coach Behavioral: Health360x plus health coach Participants will receive all of the resources in Arm A and Health coach interactions. The Health coach will send messages to participants in this arm reminding them to perform study related activities. The coach interactions will be focused on helping with attainment of self- management behaviors
Interventions
Access to health360x which provides monitoring, in the moment color coded feedback and goal setting for self management skills
All participants will have access to Helath360x with reminders generated for goal setting.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Already participating in baseline clinical study
- Volunteers with AHA LS7 scores of 4 or lower who have access to internet (community or personal),self-reported ability to participate in physical activity, and English fluency.
You may not qualify if:
- CAD documented by CAD diagnosis or prior acute myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass surgery, or chronic angina; aortic stenosis; inability to participate in increased physical activity; history of alcohol or drug abuse or psychiatric diagnosis that would interfere with ability to participate.
- Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women will be excluded. Cognitive deficits severe enough to preclude participation or any medical or surgical problem that precludes meaningful participation; unwillingness to use the internet
