SILVER SPRING, Md. A systematic review of multiple randomized controlled studies among adults with overweight or obesity showed that greater engagement in self-monitoring using digital health tools was associated with significant weight loss, according to a paper published online in

Digital health tools have flourished in the past decade, said Michele L.
