BE Smart - Bariatric Patient - Empowerment in the Preparation and Follow-up of Bariatric Surgery Using the Smartvisit App (BESmart)
This trial is testing a smartphone app called Smartvisit, designed to help obesity patients manage their care before and after bariatric surgery, or during conservative weight-loss treatment. Researchers want to know how much patients actually use it and whether they find it helpful over 12 months. This is a Phase NA pilot study, meaning it is exploratory and early-stage, not testing a drug or proving a treatment works.
