Final Report Abstract

The PathMate2 intervention resulted in significant and lasting improvement of physical capacities, a high user engagement through the 5.5 months period and a positive working alliance with the THCB and HPs. Therefore, a PathMate3 mobile coach telemedicine intervention will be implemented for scalable childhood obesity management or follow up by an InnoSuisse project. The findings of reduction of the degree of obesity after the PM2S app in addition to sport intervention in Romandie should be confirmed by a RCT.
