What this Trial Is About
Obesity is a growing public health issue in Sweden with uneven access to care depending on location. Researchers are evaluating Eatit's multimodal digitally dietitian-supported lifestyle intervention to see how it affects weight loss, eating habits, and self-rated health in adults with obesity. This pilot study aims to document the clinical effects of this accessible treatment alternative over six months. Participants use the Eatit app for six months, starting with a core program of 11 weekly modules featuring weekly video consultations and messaging with a licensed dietitian. After completing this phase, monthly video consultations continue, focusing on helpful skills or physical activity support. The program combines behavior change techniques with personalized nutrition counseling. Throughout the study, participants record their weight and waist circumference weekly in the app and complete questionnaires on eating habits and health at the start, three months, and six months. Data collected include demographics, program usage, and self-assessments. The main outcome is change in body weight after six months, with secondary outcomes including waist size and self-rated health improvements. The study lasts six months with ongoing dietitian support and data analysis planned.
