Summary

Lifestyle changes often fail due to loss of motivation. Telemedicine and personal coaching have the potential to support lifestyle change and weight loss. Therefore, the aim of our randomized controlled trial is to examine the effect of telemedicine with and without coaching in comparison to a control group on weight loss in overweight participants.
