Inclusion Criteria

1. Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome.
Diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome:
(1) Required items: Abdominal circumference of 85 cm or more (men), or 90 cm or more (women).
(2) Patients who meet two or more of the following criteria:
1. Systolic blood pressure of 130 mmHg or higher, or diastolic blood pressure of 85 mmHg or higher.
2. Triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or more, or HDL cholesterol level less than 40 mg/dL.
3. Fasting blood glucose level of 110 mg/dL or higher.
Patients who are being treated with medications for hypertension, dyslipidemia (hypertriglyceridemia or low HDL cholesterolemia), or diabetes mellitus are considered to meet each criterion.
2. Patients who meet two or more of the following criteria related to the definite diagnosis of each disease and the examination result on Visit 1:
(1) Diagnosed with essential hypertension and examination result on Visit 1: Systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher (clinic blood pressure).
(2) Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and examination result on Visit 1: Blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL or higher, and HbA1c level of 6.5% or more (in fasting condition).
(3) Diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and examination result on Visit 1: Triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or more, and less than 400 mg/dL (in fasting condition).
(4) Diagnosed with obesity and examination result on Visit 1: BMI of 25 kg/m2 or more.
3. Men and women aged 18 to 75 at the time of consent.
4. Patients who have received sufficient explanation for participating in this study, and who have obtained sufficient understanding and consent to the document of their own free will.
5. Patients who have the intention to use this investigational device appropriately under the guidance of the investigator, and the investigator judges that the patients are capable of improving their lifestyle, dietetic therapy, exercise therapy, etc., and self-managing each disease.
6. Patients who do not feel uncomfortable wearing a smartwatch device, except when taking a bath or charging the device.
7. Patients who have been using their smartphone for three months or more.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients who are recommended for immediate additional drug therapy based on their cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases (including their medical history and comorbidity) in guidelines for the management of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerotic disease, dyslipidemia, or obesity, etc.
2. Patients who are taking new medications, changed their prescription, or taking prohibited concomitant medications for diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, or obesity within the past 24 weeks from the time of obtaining consent.
3. Patients who have intractable diseases that require taking two or more medications for each disease, such as diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, or obesity (a combination drug with two or more active ingredients is considered as the number of active ingredients).
4. Patients who have been continuously taking OTC and Kampo medicines with weight loss effects for 4 weeks or more within the past 24 weeks from the time of obtaining consent.
5. Patients who have been continuously taking supplements, etc. that are judged by the investigator to affirm body fat reduction, visceral fat reduction, or BMI improvement efficacy for 4 weeks or more within the past 24 weeks from the time of obtaining consent.
6. Patients who have received a weight loss program (including specific health guidance), etc. within the past 24 weeks from the time of obtaining consent.
7. Patients who use a management application with feedback function related to metabolic syndrome and hope to continue using it after participating in this study.
8. Patients who use an activity amount measuring device with feedback function (e.g. wearable device like Fitbit) and hope to continue using it after participating in this study.
9. Patients who have been taking sulfonylurea or using insulin preparations for type 1 diabetes or severe insulin hyposecretion.
10. Patients who have been diagnosed with or strongly suspected of having secondary diabetes.
11. Patients who have been diagnosed with secondary hypertension or strongly suspected of having secondary hypertension, e.g. ARR >= 200.
12. Patients who have been diagnosed with endocrine diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, or hyperaldosteronism.
13. Patients who have moderate or severe heart disease (requiring outpatient treatment) or a history of it.
14. Patients who have an HbA1c level of 8.0% or higher within the past 12 weeks from the time of obtaining consent or the latest test results.
15. Patients who have been diagnosed with grade II essential hypertension (clinic systolic blood pressure 160 mmHg or higher, or diastolic blood pressure 100 mmHg or higher) within the past 12 weeks from the time of obtaining consent or the latest test results.
16. Patients who have an eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2 or urinary Alb/Cre 300 mg/gCre or higher within the past 12 weeks from the time of obtaining consent or the latest test results.
17. Patients who have been indicated to have a retinopathy more severe than pre-proliferative retinopathy.
18. Patients who have been instructed by the investigator that they cannot perform exercise therapy.
19. Patients who have been using corticosteroids or immunosuppressants chronically (injection, internal use, or inhalation).
