Overview
This research study is studying WeDosify, an interactive web-based Clinical Decision Support tool that assists healthcare professionals in managing adults with excess weight or obesity using a GLP-1 drug treatment such as semaglutide.
Description
Researchers at Amarillo Premier Research, working with Closed Loop Medicine Ltd (CLM), want to improve how excess weight and obesity are managed. There is a need for tools that support more consistent, data-informed and personalized treatment decisions in weight management. This research focuses on subjects who have recently been prescribed semaglutide (Wegovy). Semaglutide is a widely used medicine that helps patients to lose excess weight and belongs to a group of medicines called GLP-1s.
Only subjects who are receiving semaglutide treatment as part of their routine weight management will be invited by the study doctor to join this research study. Once consented, the study doctor will have access to a product called WeDosify, an interactive web-based Clinical Decision Support tool that assists healthcare professionals in managing adults with excess weight or obesity using GLP-1 treatment.
Participation in this study will last approximately 3 months and will include approximately 4 consultations, either study visits to the research center or remote consultations
