The problem
Intervention: Daily self-weighing using Bluetooth scales connected to the electronic medical record, with clinic feedback and reminders between visits
Who it was tested with: 30 adolescents with obesity seeking treatment at a tertiary pediatric weight management clinic and their parents.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Thirty adolescents with obesity who were seeking obesity treatment at a tertiary pediatric weight management clinic were recruited into a single-arm feasibility study to create and assess a connection between blue-tooth scales and the electronic medical record. These adolescents and their parents were then approached about conducting exit interviews about their experience in the feasibility study." This is a qualitative feasibility study that explores user experiences and perspectives rather than testing effectiveness through a comparison group or measuring clinical outcomes.
This is a single-arm qualitative study with no control group and no measurement of actual weight outcomes or clinical health improvements. The study captures acceptability and feasibility but cannot establish efficacy of self-weighing for weight loss.
