Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-65 with morbid obesity (BMI >35 with comorbidities or BMI >40) who are candidates for bariatric surgery and can use a smartphone or computer app.

Probably not a fit

Patients who cannot use smartphone or PC applications or do not engage with digital monitoring may not benefit from the intervention.

What this trial studies

This interventional study tests a cloud-based digital monitoring solution for patients eligible for bariatric surgery. Get Ready, built on the Maela platform, guides care pathways, collects questionnaires and reminders, and alerts clinicians to patient needs. The aim is to streamline care, reduce in-person visits, and lower rates of procedure cancellations due to communication issues. The study will assess how the app supports healthcare teams and patients throughout the surgical journey. It is conducted at a single center in Rome with industry collaboration from Medtronic.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the app could improve remote monitoring, reduce unnecessary outpatient visits, and decrease cancellations, making bariatric care more efficient.

How similar studies have gone: Digital, remotely monitored pathways have shown promise in perioperative care, but results for this specific Get Ready/Maela solution in bariatric patients are not yet established.
