The study is targeted toward pediatric patients, eight years of age or older, who are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Over the course of 12 weeks, study participants will develop nutrition goals, which the Fruit Street Telehealth platform will track.

The Fruit Street Telehealth software allows registered dietitian nutritionists at St. Jude to monitor the patients’ diet and exercise via mobile app. With the software, nutritionists may also conduct video consultations with their patients.
