Adherence
Engagement with a digital weight management platform (coaching, app use, weight tracking) significantly enhances weight loss outcomes in individuals using GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists compared to pharmacotherapy alone.
If you are using GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medications for weight loss, actively engaging with your digital health platform (attending coaching, using the app, tracking weight) leads to significantly better results than just taking the medication. Aim to participate in coaching sessions, log your weight regularly, and use the app's educational features to maximize your weight loss.
Engagement with a digital weight management platform significantly enhances weight loss outcomes among individuals using GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Why this rating
The study is a large retrospective cohort service evaluation (N=57,975) with strong statistical power, but it is observational and not a randomized controlled trial, introducing potential selection bias.
