Can a Novel Treatment Using "Mandometer®" Technology Improve Weight Loss in a Childhood Obesity Clinic?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mandometer and Lifestyle for Childhood Obesity. Completed, enrolled 106 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We run a successful clinic in Bristol for children with severe obesity who already demonstrate many features to suggest they are at increased risk of early diabetes and heart disease. However, we have found that young children respond better to simple interventions than do adolescents.

We would like to do a study to see if all adolescents might improve weight loss using this technology compared to what we routinely offer
