Participants enrolled in a 6 month intensive weight management coaching program, followed by a maintenance phase with one-on-one health coaching sessions. At 12 months, the study showed a weight loss of:

  • ▼ 7.2% in overweight patients
  • ▼ 7.6% in obese patients
  • ▼ 10.4% in patients aged 60+

Vida’s virtual weight management program exceeds CDC benchmarks of 5% weight loss for in-person weight loss programs by over two percentage points for overweight and obese patients, and by over five percentage points for patients over 60 years of age.
