Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has created fear, financial difficulties and interruptions in the lives of patients and healthcare providers. As a result, many patients suffering from chronic conditions such as obesity have had their treatment disrupted by the pandemic. The Bariatric Medical Weight Management Clinic at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton transitioned its weight loss and maintenance counselling classes to a remote (online) platform in response to the pandemic. The remote weight loss and maintenance classes allows patients to continue receiving treatment for obesity from their homes. The remote weight loss and maintenance program is conducted on a safe platform that has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by St. Joseph's Privacy Committees.

The aim of this study is to learn whether the remote weight loss and maintenance classes can lead to similar weight loss compared to the in-person weight loss and maintenance classes that were offered to patients before the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also aims to gather feedback about the program to improve its delivery and patients' experiences.
