NCT ID NCT07201870
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online platform called Precare that provides educational content and appointment management for people waiting for bariatric surgery. Researchers want to see if it is easy to use, acceptable to patients, and helps them feel more ready for surgery. About 1,050 patients on the waiting list at a Quebec hospital will take part. The goal is to reduce the number of patients who drop out due to fear or unanswered questions.

What this could lead to
If successful, this platform could help patients feel more prepared for bariatric surgery and reduce the number who drop out while waiting.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving health outcomes. The platform may not improve readiness or reduce dropouts in larger, more diverse groups.
