A Multicenter Study for Evaluating a Digital Support System in Childhood Obesity Treatment

The intervention aim to examine the effectiveness of using a digital support system (Evira) in treatment of childhood obesity. Through daily weighings at home using a special designed scale, which sends data directly to an application on the parents phone and to a clinic homepage, the child's weight development can be easily monitored. Participants can be randomized to either the intervention group or the control group. The control group will receive local standard treatment.

The control group will receive the local standard care of treatment addressing lifestyles for childhood obesity without any restriction in visits or clinical support. This is the current standard care of treatment for childhood obesity.
