First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tests a digital support system called Evira for treating childhood obesity. Children weigh themselves daily at home using a special scale that sends data to an app on their parent's phone and to the clinic. The goal is to see if adding this system to standard lifestyle treatment helps kids lose weight better than standard care alone. About 680 children aged 4 to 17 with obesity will take part.
