Can your phone help fight teen obesity? french study tests app vs. doctor visits
NCT ID NCT02955017
Summary
This study tested whether using a mobile app for remote follow-up could help obese teenagers lose more weight than traditional in-person clinic visits. After an initial intensive program, 91 teens were randomly assigned to either continue with quarterly clinic visits or use a special app for tracking food, activity, and weight. The main goal was to see which group had a better reduction in their body mass index (BMI) after 15 months.
