Efficacy of Telenutrition (OBE-COACH) for the Treatment of Overweight Patients With Obesity and/or High Cardiometabolic Risk
The OBE-COACH program is an automated online nutritional coaching service that was evaluated in its first version (MXS-CARE program) in a clinical trial coordinated by our team, in type 2 diabetic patients with abdominal obesity. Results have confirmed the efficiency of the program to improve lifestyle habits, including the 4-month diet, and to reduce weight and HbA1c levels. Based on our experience and the scientific literature, the investigators assume that adherence to the program may diminish in the long term to the point of calling into question its efficiency. So IRIADE compagny developed an enhanced program called OBE-COACH. The OBE-COACH program has been specifically designed to facilitate long-term user adherence. The OBE-COACH program, integrates a bidirectional interactive link between the patient and an automated support system (IRIADE-MED system) associated with an inexpensive remote human support. In the TOOLBAR study, the investigators will evaluate the efficiency of the OBE-COACH solution in a population of obese patients or overweight persons with at least one cardiometabolic risk factor. A group of patients will have access to the OBE-COACH program. It will be compared to a control group which will receive an e-learning program with free access to advice sheets via the web, to a menu generator, videos and a catalog of physical activity, (resources made available by the web site www.mangerbouger.fr (public health France, ministry in charge of health) . Indeed, the investigators judged that the loss of patients during follow-up would be greater if e-learning was not offered in the control group.
