In 2013, a pilot study was conducted by Madras Diabetes Research Foundation & Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialties Center, World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Non-communicable Diseases, International Diabetes Federation Center for Education, Chennai, in collaboration with Jana Care, to look at the effect of the Habits Program on changes in weight, caloric intake and physical activity in 64 overweight adults at high-risk of developing diabetes, over a period of 16 weeks. The participants achieved moderate weight loss of 4.2%, up to a maximum of 11kg. Average daily calorie and fat intake decreased by 28% and 44% respectively, while daily physical activity increased from 3438 steps (week 1) to 8459 steps (week 16) (p<0.05). Statistics collected by Jana Care from commercial deployment with approximately 13,000 individuals also showed self-reported weight loss of 4.3% and physical activity improvement of 26% at 12 weeks. Another randomized-control trial to assess the effectiveness of the program is currently underway in India, funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, in collaboration with Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, Chennai and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.
