Target PopulationPopulation described in the source article.
Care SettingA remote, community-based digital–clinical hybrid program with structured onboarding, baseline blood testing, clinical review, monthly questionnaires, weekly live-video check-ins, and clinician-led dose titration.

Key Highlights

  • The analytic cohort comprised 8,127 women prescribed and dispatched GLP-1RA therapy after eligibility screening, laboratory completion, and clinical review.
  • Baseline mean weight was 104.2 kg and mean BMI was 38.2 kg/m²; 95.5% met criteria for class I–III obesity.
  • The program required monthly questionnaires before refill approval and included weekly live-video check-ins with trained proctors.
  • Monthly clinician-led assessments supported individualized, response-guided dose titration rather than automatic escalation.
