Description
New weight-loss drugs work best alongside coaching, yet clinics lack the staff to coach everyone one by one. Jacob Mirsky and co-authors test group video visits in this 2026 study, running a four-part series for obesity patients on these drugs at a Boston hospital program.
Of fifty-four patients who signed up, thirty-three attended at least one session. Among the most engaged patients, seven in ten had their dose raised during the series, and nobody quit the medication. Most lost weight over the following months. The authors see shared virtual visits as a scalable way to pair the drugs with the lifestyle support guidelines demand.
