MeDiApp-PCOS: A Mobile Mediterranean Diet App for Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (MeDiApp-PCOS)
Randomized Controlled Trial of a Mobile Application With Personalized Mediterranean Diet-Based Recommendations in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
This randomized clinical trial will test whether a mobile application with personalized Mediterranean diet-based recommendations can improve health outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared with standard lifestyle advice.
Participants will be assigned to either the mobile application group or the standard lifestyle advice group.
The primary outcomes are change in LDL cholesterol and change in body mass index after 3 months.
Secondary outcomes include changes in metabolic and hormonal measures, quality of life, treatment adherence, and ovulatory function assessed through 6 months.

|---|---|
|
Sperimentale: Mobile Application With Personalized Mediterranean Diet-Based Recommendations
Participants randomized to this arm will receive access to a mobile application specifically developed for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The application provides personalized dietary recommendations based on the Mediterranean diet, a system for tracking food intake and physical activity, automated feedback and motivational messages, weekly progress reports, and educational materials on PCOS and healthy lifestyle. Participants will be instructed to use the application daily for 6 months, including completion of nutrition and activity diaries and review of recommendations and feedback. |
Comportamentale: Mobile Application-Based Personalized Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle Intervention
The intervention consists of a mobile application providing personalized Mediterranean diet-based nutrition plans, a food database with nutritional information, automatic calculation of caloric intake and macronutrient composition, monitoring of adherence to the Mediterranean diet, physical activity recommendations (including minimum weekly minutes of moderate aerobic activity and strength training), an activity diary with step tracking, automated feedback and motivational messages, weekly progress reports, push notifications with reminders, and educational materials on PCOS and healthy lifestyle. Participants are instructed to use the application daily for 6 months, to enter food intake and physical activity, and to review personalized feedback. The intervention aims to optimize dietary habits, increase physical activity, improve metabolic parameters, and support restoration of ovulatory function in women with PCOS. |
|
Comparatore attivo: Standard Lifestyle Advice
Participants randomized to this arm will receive standard written recommendations for lifestyle modification in polycystic ovary syndrome, including principles of the Mediterranean diet, recommended foods and example menus, and physical activity recommendations. They will receive a one-time consultation with a dietitian at baseline with explanation of the recommendations and will be advised to keep a paper diary of nutrition and physical activity during the follow-up period. No access to the mobile application will be provided in this arm. |
Standard care consisting of written lifestyle recommendations for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. This includes printed materials describing the Mediterranean diet (principles, recommended and discouraged foods, example menus), physical activity recommendations, and general educational information on PCOS and the importance of lifestyle changes. Participants will receive a one-time dietitian consultation at baseline to review the recommendations and will be advised to keep a paper diary of nutrition and physical activity throughout the follow-up period. No digital application or additional feedback system will be provided. |
