Implement a patient-centered program with WatchWT Basic

Numerous studies point to the benefits of physician involvement in patient weight management, yet today fewer than 40% of physicians advise obese patient to lose weight.¹ Most physicians believe treating patient obesity is difficult, in-effective, not cost-effective, and burdensome on clinic time.  

WatchWT Basic Practice Solutions address many of these barriers by delivering individualized obesity assessment and weight management planning based on a patient’s unique Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). WatchWT Practice Solutions provide physicians a cost-effective, patient empowerment program that  quickly and accurately determines the true caloric requirements for each patient. In additionm, with the help of MedGem Analyzer software, physicians provide detailed inidvidualized take-home caloric and exercise plans that promotes patient self-management.
