CADIO Webinar: Optimizing a Fully Digital Weight Loss Intervention

Hosted by the Center for Advancement and Dissemination of Intervention Optimization (CADIO)

Obesity is pervasive, chronic, and costly. Yet, there exist few weight loss solutions that are scalable, low cost, and potent. Dr. Michele Patel's work focuses on developing fully digital interventions to address this gap in obesity care. In this webinar, she will present findings from her NIH-funded optimization-RCT ("Spark") that sought to identify which self-monitoring strategies maximize weight loss while minimizing burden. Considerations for conducting fully remote trials, leveraging existing digital tools, and automating intervention components will be discussed.
