Background summary
Telehealth has a great additinal value to standard care. The use in bariatric patients is described rarely, even though this group seems to be particularly suitable. These patients have to attend a postoperative follow-up program for 5 years, are often young adults and are internet minded nd could benefit from motivational coaching. Now, online coaching modules and remote monitoring devices are available. The real surplus value of these additions is still uncertain. In a randomised controlled the surplus value will be investigated.
Study objective
Online coaching modules and wireless biometric measurements have surplus value in addition to standard coaching program after bariatric surgery
