Background: Evidence suggests that the communication of type 2 diabetes (T2D) genetic risk alone has limited effectiveness on facilitating behavioral changes among individuals of European descent. Although the use of wearable devices has been associated with changes in behavior, the effects of combining personalized precision medicine with wearable devices on behaviors related to T2D prevention remain unclear. This study aims to assess the novel effects of T2D genetic risk communication and wearable device functions on objectively measured moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time among East Asian individuals with overweight or obesity.
