How Florence is helping beat obesity

Date posted: 30 Sep 2014

Andy is morbidly obese and came to his GP for help to lose weight. Andy agreed to try out Florence and her supportive messages and weight reading reminders to help him achieve his goal of losing weight.

He was also provided with scales to use at home to avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience he felt weighing himself in public at the pharmacy.

Three weeks into using Florence and Andy has recorded significant weight loss each week. He’s provided excellent feedback on the system and has also suggested additional motivational message ideas that can be used to improve Florence when used for other patients.
