Fitbit and coaching: a new boost for weight loss drug users?
NCT ID NCT06915090
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a Fitbit activity tracker combined with virtual health coaching could help people on weight loss medications (GLP-1/GIP) become more active. Fifteen participants wore a Fitbit and had up to six coaching sessions over 12 weeks. The main goal was to see if the program was easy to set up and use, not to measure weight loss or health changes.
