Interventions

Smartphone Application with lifestyle modification Intervention BEHAVIORAL

The study will introduce a health-promoting lifestyle through the combination of a smartphone app (MyFitnessPal) for the experimental group, emphasizing the use of behavior change techniques to reduce weight, thereby improving the obstructive sleep apnea with overweight and obese employees in the workplace. The self-monitoring, instant feedback, and social support, as well as individualized tailor-made functions are used in intervention programs. The intervention process adopts a healthy weight reduction plan, focusing on a balanced diet, moderately reducing the calories of the food, and combining weight loss methods such as increasing exercise as the main axis, emphasizing the concept of self-monitoring of weight, calorie intake, and exercise .
