Effective long-term treatments are needed to address the obesity epidemic. There are numerous wearable technologies specific to physical activity and diet, but it is unclear if these are effective at improving weight loss. To test the hypothesis that, compared with a standard behavioral weight loss intervention (SBWI), a technology-enhanced intervention (EWLI) would result in greater weight loss. Randomized trial with participants enrolled between October 2010 and October 2012, with data collection completed by December 2014. The study was conducted at the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA). Participants were randomized to SBWI (N=233) or EWLI (N=237) interventions. Participants were placed on a low calorie diet, prescribed increases in physical activity, and had group counseling sessions. At 6 months the interventions added telephone counseling sessions, text message prompts, and access to study materials on a website. At 6 months SBWI initiated self-monitoring of diet and physical activity using a website, whereas EWLI was provided a wearable device and accompanying web interface to monitor diet and physical activity. The primary outcome of weight was measured over 24 months at 6 months intervals, and the primary hypothesis tested the change in weight between two groups at 24 months. Secondary outcomes included body composition, fitness, physical activity, and dietary intake. Among the 470 participants randomized (BMI: 25 to <40 kg/m2; age: 18–35 years; 28.9% non-white, 77.2% female), 74.5% completed the study. Weight change at 24-months differed significantly by intervention groups [estimated mean weight loss of 3.5 kg (95% CI: 2.6, 4.5) in EWLI and 5.9 kg (95% CI: 5.0, 6.8) in SBWI, difference of 2.4 kg (95% CI 3.7, 1.0), p=0.002]. Both groups had significant improvements in body composition, fitness, physical activity, and diet, with no significant difference between groups. Among young adults with a BMI between 25 to <40 kg/m2, the addition of a wearable technology device to a standard behavioral intervention resulted in less weight loss over 24 months. Devices that monitor and provide feedback on physical activity may not offer an advantage over standard behavioral weight loss approaches. clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01131871)
