Individualized Telemedical Assistance for Lifestyle Modification in the Treatment of Obesity and Cardiometabolic Risk Prevention
Spain183 participantsStarted 2015-10-29
Plain-language summary
This project is based on the contribution that could offer a technological system for a continuous monitoring, individualized treatment of obesity and prevention of cardiometabolic complications in high risk population.
The main objective of PREDIRCAM study is to evaluate the benefits obtained with the use in high cardiometabolic risk individuals of a telemedical platform integrating applications for monitoring and providing recommendations to improve lifestyle habits (diet and physical activity) in a healthier way.
The study population are obese subjects (type I or II) aged between 25 and 65 years with a 12 month follow-up. In this population it will be analysed the cost-effectiveness of a telemedic assistance with a technological system and its ability to modify lifestyle habits, reduce weight and cardiovascular risk associated parameters.
Previously to the clinical implementation, a pilot study for testing the telemedical system will be made. Efficacy and security variables will be evaluated along the study.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
