Brief summary

The aim of the present study is to develop and validate the effects of a new cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) using digital healthcare mobile apps such as Noom Coach and InBody.

Detailed description

Seventy female participants whose BMI scores were above 23 and who had no other clinical problem except obesity were randomized into an experimental and a control group. Forty-five people in the experimental group were connected with the therapist using digital healthcare apps, so they got daily feedbacks and assignments for 8 weeks. Twenty-five people in the control group also used digital healthcare apps but they were asked to do self-care without intervention.
