Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In this study all children who start treatment for childhood obesity will use a digital support system as a complement to behavioral treatment. The digital support system includes daily weighing on scales that do not show any digits, linked to a mobile app where weight development is shown as a moving average in the form of BMI standard deviation score (SDS). The app also provides an individual target curve visualizing the expected weight journey. Weight in growing children is complex to interpret why BMI SDS is used. Objective data from scale are automatically transferred to the database and the clinic and the family have direct contact with the clinic via the app.
The evaluation will be carried out when approximately 120 children have had the opportunity to be treated with the support system for one year. The results will be compared with a matched control group from the BORIS childhood obesity treatment register.
