Implementation of a Digital Health Tool for Patients Awaiting Input From a Specialist Weight Management Team: Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital tools are increasingly used on a population level as a weight loss strategy for people living with overweight and obesity. Evidence supports the feasibility of digital tools for the management of obesity in a community setting, but there is only emerging evidence for the feasibility of such tools in specialist weight management services. No study has assessed the uptake of digital tools among patients awaiting their first appointment with a specialist weight management service.

Objective

The objective of this study was to understand interest, acceptance, and engagement with a digital behavioral change platform to support specialist weight management.

Methods

This was an observational study registered as a service innovation. All patients on the wait
