Smart scale could transform post-surgery weight monitoring
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, single-center trial testing a monitoring strategy, not a new treatment. The approach may not improve outcomes over standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.
