Can your phone help you get ready for Weight-Loss surgery?

NCT ID NCT04451499

Summary

This study tested whether adding a smartphone app to the standard preparation process helps people get ready for weight-loss surgery. Forty people planning to have surgery were randomly assigned to either use the educational app along with their usual dietitian meetings or to just have the usual meetings. Researchers measured changes in knowledge, weight, body composition, and quality of life for up to two years after surgery to see if the app made a difference.
