“…Additionally, not all results reported were tested for statistical significance in the study itself (e.g., within-arm comparisons of engagement rates); therefore, caution should be taken when interpreting the findings of those comparisons. Further, our review was limited to adults, so these findings may not generalize to adolescent populations; however, two systematic reviews focusing on trials in pediatric settings (n = 9 and n = 6) found that mHealth and Internet-based interventions with selfmonitoring produced a small but significant effect on weight loss (98,99).…”

Objective: Self-monitoring is a core component of behavioral obesity treatment, but it is unknown how digital health has been used for selfmonitoring, what engagement rates are achieved in these interventions, and how self-monitoring and weight loss are related. Methods: This systematic review examined digital self-monitoring in behavioral weight loss interventions among adults with overweight or obesity. Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses) were searched for randomized controlled trials with interventions ≥ 12 weeks, weight outcomes ≥ 6 months, and outcomes on self-monitoring engagement and their relationship to weight loss. Results: Thirty-nine studies from 2009 to 2019 met inclusion criteria. Among the 67 interventions with digital self-monitoring, weight was tracked in 72% of them, diet in 81%, and physical activity in 82%. Websites were the most common self-monitoring modality, followed by mobile applications, wearables, electronic scales, and, finally, text messaging. Few interventions had digital self-monitoring engagement rates ≥ 75% of days. Rates were higher in digital-than in paper-based arms in 21 out of 34 comparisons and lower in just 2. Interventions with counseling had similar rates to standalone interventions. Greater digital self-monitoring was linked to weight loss in 74% of occurrences. Conclusions: Self-monitoring via digital health is consistently associated with weight loss in behavioral obesity treatment.

“…The efficacy of meal replacements was well proven for use in energy-restricted diets for weight reduction. In recent years, numerous studies have also shown the usefulness of a non-face-to-face design weight loss program utilizing ICT [14]. In this program, in addition to the support of the program's dedicated dietitians and follow-up using ICT, the establishment of an award ceremony sponsored by the local government called the "Sakai-town Diet Award" was conducted at the end of the program.…”

Objectives: Measures by Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been considered as possible modalities for local governments to conduct health promotion policies. The low energy meal replacement regimens are used for weight loss in obese patients. The aim of this project is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a weight loss intervention program by a local government through PPPs in Japan. Methods: Overweight or obese subjects in Sakai-town, Ibaraki pref., participated in the weight loss program, using telephone and/or personalized website to receive individual dietary counseling from medical professionals. Meal replacements were consumed once daily instead of regular meals. A standardized product contains 20.1 g of protein, one-third of the RDA of vitamins/minerals, and other food ingredients in 1 bag gross weight 50 g or 167 kcal. Anthropometric parameters and body composition were assessed before and after the 12-week weight-loss program. Results: Ninety-two participants (male 47, female 45) completed the program between 1st, August 2018 and 13th, November 2018. Compared with the baseline, the significant decreases in BMI, body weight and waist circumference were observed. Conclusion: The result demonstrated that a technology-based intervention, combined with meal replacements was feasible and effective for reducing body weight in obese subjects. The issues in implementing health promotion projects as PPPs will be examined, and further efforts to achieve the extension of the healthy lifespan will be taken to realize a healthy longevity society. The scheme of PPPs will play pivotal roles in the implementation of integrative health measure through public health services.

“…Self-monitoring is also an effective way to promote weight management for the prevention of obesity and overweight problems in adult populations (Burke et al 2011;Madigan et al 2015;Zheng et al 2015). As highlighted by a recent meta-analysis by Ho et al (2018), many eHealth programs delivered web-based self-monitoring to prevent obesity during adolescence as well. All these assessed studies employed logging of behaviors and health information that, differently from automated tracking of personal information through wearable devices, requires users to provide and record all the relevant health-related data.…”
