Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Remote Patient Monitoring
  • Health Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Electronic Bluetooth scales (e-scales) offer potential for remote weight assessment.
  • Assessing engagement predictors is crucial for implementing remote health technologies.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for remote monitoring solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze predictors of engagement with e-scales for remote weight assessment.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of using e-scales in a remote trial setting.
  • To identify demographic factors influencing e-scale adoption.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 150 participants in an ongoing trial were invited to receive an e-scale.
  • Participants had one month to complete a weigh-in, with email, text, and phone reminders.
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • 50% of participants (75 out of 150) elected to receive an e-scale.
  • Older participants (p=.05) and a higher proportion of females (p<.01) were more likely to sign up.
  • An average of 2.6 reminders were needed; 70 participants completed a weigh-in.

Conclusions:

  • Half the study sample adopted e-scales for remote weight monitoring.
  • Engagement was higher among older adults and women.
  • Targeted strategies are needed to improve uptake among men and younger adults for remote health technologies.
