This study explored the engagement and interest in using the NHS-approved Gro Health app for patients on the waiting list for a Tier 3 Weight Management service at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust. We also conducted co-production activities with patients with obesity.Â
Key results:
- 199 patients were informed about the digital tool
- 51.3% of patients expressed interest in using the app
Results indicate moderate patient interest in using a digital health tool as part of their weight management care, offering an additional resource while awaiting face-to-face appointments.
