Background summary
Long-term effect of bariatric surgery is influenced by the compliance with a follow-up program. This committment could be improved by eHealth. However, to which extent this benefit is or whether it should be an interactive website or include remote monitoring as well remains unclear. This study compares a conventional follow-up program to programs including an educational portal and remote monitoring to assess the value of eHealth for bariatric surgery.
Study objective
Assessing the value of online education with and without remote monitoring added to standard perioperative bariatric care
Study design
1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months after bariatric procedure
Intervention
eHealth program by BePATIENT containing
1. Online education module
- eLearning programs

- Activity tracker
- Oximeter
200 subjects will be allocated to receive in a 2:1:1 distribution into
