  • Publication number: 20170084195
    Abstract: The present disclosure features novel methods and systems of using a computer system to facilitate improvement of a weight management intervention. In one embodiment, a method of improving a weight management intervention comprises receiving, by an analysis agent executing on a processor, a daily weight measurement of a patient enrolled in the weight management intervention. A short term period of adherence or non-adherence to the weight management intervention is detected based on the daily weight measurement and at least one previous daily weight measurement. A cause of the short term period of non-adherence is identified. Based on the cause, the weight management intervention can be modified in response. Short-term detection and response to adherence and non-adherence is extremely useful in promoting greater adherence to a weight management intervention, and through greater adherence leading to greater weight loss, lower drop out, greater sustainability of weight loss and greater participant satisfaction.
