Brief Summary:
Evira is a digital treatment tool developed for treatment of childhood obesity. Through daily weighings at home using a special scale together with a message function in the Evira application, parents and the clinicians can easily follow the child's weight development. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate its efficacy for childhood obesity treatment in Abu Dhabi, with a secondary objective to establish non-inferiority compared to outcomes in a cohort in Stockholm, Sweden.
Detailed Description:
Obesity remains a critical global health concern. Traditional treatment often yields limited results, necessitating innovative solutions.
In this study, participants aged 6-15.9 years with obesity at the Sheikh Shakabout Medical City in Abu Dhabi, will be asked for participation. If agreed to participate, they will use a digital treatment tool as a complement to behavioral treatment.The treatment is based on outcome goals set by the treatment staff together with the family. Briefly, the families follow the child's weight outcome via daily weight measurements and the outcome is shown graphically in the mobile application as BMI SDS with the BMI SDS weight goals as background. The staff will provide support to the families via the app. The staff is encouraged to react and contact the families if the weight goals are not reached or if they fail to perform the daily weighings. Regular physical visits at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, alongside questionnaire assessments, will facilitate data collection via electronic case report forms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment tools efficacy for childhood obesity treatment in Abu Dhabi. Furthermore, the study aims to establish non-inferiority compared to outcomes in Stockholm, Sweden (referred to as the "Stockholm cohort"), on 107 children and adolescents who were treated with the same treatment method between October 2018 and August 2019 (Clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT04323215).
