2022

Abstract

BACKGROUND Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is common across many complex chronic disease groups. Advances in health technology have provided opportunities to support lifestyle interventions. Implementation of health technology driven services in a tertiary setting remains untested. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a health technology-assisted lifestyle intervention in a patient-led model of care.
