Summary
This study tested whether a virtual coach, accessed through a patient portal, could help people with obesity lose weight before ventral hernia surgery. Researchers compared weight loss over six months between those using the coach and those receiving usual care. The goal was to see if the coach leads to better weight loss and fewer hospital readmissions after surgery.
