Giving people technology alone for the initial phase of obesity treatment produces unacceptably worse weight loss than giving them treatment that combines technology with a human coach.
Investigators found that people who initially only received technology without coach support were less likely to have a meaningful weight loss, considered to be at least 5% of body weight.
Eventually more advanced technology may be able to supplant human coaches, but currently, a human coach is still needed to achieve clinically meaningful weight loss goals.
