Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The objective of this proposal is to determine whether E4W can be implemented successfully and its preliminary effectiveness and impact on dietary intake in adolescents with obesity participating in a weight management program. The study population will consist of adolescents in the weight management program without an eating disorder, who have the ability to use a smartphone.
Adolescents will be randomly placed in a control (standard care plus logging with default phone camera app only) or experimental group (standard care plus E4W) for 4 weeks. The investigators will assess feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of E4W in improving dietary intake in adolescents with obesity.
Ultimately, our results will inform the design of a larger randomized controlled trial to assess E4W's suitability in replacing current tools for dietary assessment in adolescents with obesity and other populations of children where dietary assessment is important.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Arm
Patients will receive standard dietary counselling and use of E4W mobile app
E4W mobile app
Eating for Wellness (E4W) is a mobile application that analyzes photos of meals taken by the user and determines the nutritional profile. Nutritional content is then directly transmitted to the dietitian.
Standard Care
Patients will receive standard dietary counselling as part of the weight management program.
Control Arm
Patients will receive standard dietary counselling. No use of E4W.
Standard Care
Patients will receive standard dietary counselling as part of the weight management program.
