Excited to share a recent article exploring digital-based weight management support - and specifically our service, Gro Health W8Buddy - which details the way we approach weight management by providing personalised, accessible support through both digital and in-person channels 🫶

DDM is delighted to share that Warwick Medical School is conducting a new study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Gro Health W8Buddy intervention delivered across a range of sites in England and Wales thanks to funding from NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research)🔬 The study compares the impact of the digital pathway delivered through Gro Health W8Buddy and traditional NHS specialist weight management services. Our aim is simple - to improve patient access, reduce health inequalities, and deliver precision support for people living with obesity. Together, we’re shaping the future of accessible, effective and equitable weight management services. #HealthInnovation #ObesityCare #DigitalHealth #W8Buddy #GroHealth #NHS #Collaboration

🌟 Read our collaboration with Amsterdam UMC and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam exploring how adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes manage diabetes distress. 📝 Key findings: 1️⃣ Problem-focused strategies were the most frequently used and considered most useful. 2️⃣ Emotion-focused strategies (like “Expressing my emotions”) were less commonly used and perceived as less helpful. 3️⃣ Differences emerged in the strategies used by individuals experiencing low vs. high diabetes distress. A huge thank you to the community for sharing their lived experiences and contributing to this impactful research! #DiabetesDistress #DiabetesResearch #PatientEmpowerment https://lnkd.in/e_GKAmwz
