Summary

This study tests an online platform called Precare that provides educational content and appointment management for people waiting for bariatric surgery. Researchers want to see if it is easy to use, acceptable to patients, and helps them feel more ready for surgery. About 1,050 patients on the waiting list at a Quebec hospital will take part. The goal is to reduce the number of patients who drop out due to fear or unanswered questions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Precare online educational platform
What this could lead to
If successful, this platform could help patients feel more prepared for bariatric surgery and reduce the number who drop out while waiting.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving health outcomes. The platform may not improve readiness or reduce dropouts in larger, more diverse groups.
