Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a randomised controlled trial of the clinical application of the Fatty Liver Data Analysis and Intervention System (FLDAS) to compare the effectiveness of traditional lifestyle interventions in patients with fatty liver with digital therapies combining software and hardware devices; to validate the effectiveness of digital therapies in patients with fatty liver; and to evaluate the effectiveness of remote lifestyle (diet and exercise) interventions.

Researchers conducted a randomised controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of a traditional lifestyle intervention for patients with fatty liver with a remote lifestyle (diet and exercise) intervention combining digital therapy software and hardware devices. When the effectiveness of this programme is validated, it could help clinicians improve the efficiency of lifestyle interventions for patients with fatty liver and address the growing need for primary care for patients with fatty liver as an innovative approach to disease intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Software Group

Download the Fatty Liver Data Analysis and Intervention Software and associate it with the researcher. Baseline data was collected, a health record was created, and the Weight and Lipo Meter that came with the software was linked to the software for data collection. The researcher assesses the participant through the software (on the part of the physician) and develops a diet and exercise plan based on the participant's individual circumstances. At weeks 12 and 24 after enrolment, study participants were notified of follow-up examinations to collect data on body weight, waist and hip circumference, blood tests, liver function, kidney function, blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, glycated haemoglobin, abdominal ultrasound, liver transient elasticity, and body composition measurements.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Download the "Fatty Liver Data Analysis and Management Software", register and update your profile, connect to a scale, and associate with a researcher and dietitian. Upload meal charts and weight and body fat data every day, adjust recipes according to the patient's exercise and diet every week, and customise one-on-one Q\&A according to the patient's uploaded photos every day. After enrolment, w12 and w24 were required to follow-up to complete relevant examinations and scales and collect data.

Life Group

Under the guidance of the programme specialist, the enrolled study participants collected baseline data and established health records. Professional clinicians will provide offline health education and lifestyle guidance according to the latest Chinese NAFLD prevention and treatment guidelines. At weeks 12 and 24 after enrolment, study participants were notified of follow-up examinations to collect data on body weight, waist and hip circumference, blood tests, liver function, kidney function, blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, glycated haemoglobin, abdominal ultrasound, liver transient elasticity, and body composition measurements.
