Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, open, controlled, single-center trial to identify the weight loss effects of adding mobile health application in obesity multidisciplinary outpatient clinic.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, open, controlled, single-center trial to identify the weight loss effects of adding mobile health application in obesity multidisciplinary outpatient clinic. The team of obesity multidisciplinary outpatient clinic includes endocrinologists, dietitians, and exercisers. The endocrinologist assesses the patients' conditions, manages the patients, and decides on appropriate medications. Dietitians participate in dietary propaganda and education, and develop personalized diet prescriptions. Exercisers conduct behavior and exercise propaganda, and issue personalized exercise prescriptions. Patients in the experimental group combine m-Health APP with routine obesity clinic management. The m-Health APP could help patients set weight loss targets, record body weights online, learn the calories they consumed in real time, and exercise based on the prescriptions suggested by the exercisers.
