Abstract

Interdisciplinary approach is the «gold standard» for treating obesity, but requires the patient to regularly visit the doctor. Research work in recent years has convincingly demonstrated the perspectives of telemedicine technologies’ implementation, which include remote consultation, use of mobile applications, activity trackers, etc. Telemedicine consultations (TMC) have enormous potential in providing medical care to patients with overweight and obesity. Current review shows the successful experience of foreign colleagues in TMC use for the treatment of obesity, allowing us to compare the effectiveness of this method with the classical approach to the treatment of the disease. Examples of works where smart applications were used to obtain remote consultations with nutritionists are given, and specific tools used in weight loss programs are shown.
