NCT ID NCT04639778

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new way to follow patients after weight-loss surgery. Instead of yearly check-ups, patients use a connected scale at home, and doctor visits are scheduled based on weight changes. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps patients maintain weight loss and avoid malnutrition. About 390 adults who had surgery two years ago will take part.

Active substance
connected scale for weight monitoring
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more efficient and personalized way to monitor weight after bariatric surgery, potentially improving long-term weight loss and reducing complications.
