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.
What this could mean

Telemouv telerehabilitation solution
What this could lead to
If it worked, this approach could offer a convenient way for people with obesity to lose fat and improve health from home.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early, so we don't have clear evidence it works. It was also small (50 people) and only lasted 3 months.
