First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a mobile telerehabilitation program called Telemouv in 50 adults with obesity (BMI over 30). Participants used the app for three months to encourage healthy behavior changes and fat loss. The trial was terminated early, so we don't have final results on whether it worked.
