The Lancet Digital Health publishes the results of an international study led by Lille-based researchers on weight loss prediction after bariatric surgery
The Lille-based teams under Professors François Pattou (Lille University, Lille University Hospital, INSERM and the Institut Pasteur in Lille) and Philippe Preux (Lille University and INRIA) have developed a digital medical device which can predict the expected weight loss of an individual patient in the 5 years following their bariatric surgery.
