This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
ELIPSE-I is a research study testing whether a smartphone app can help parents support healthier habits in children with obesity. Half the children will receive standard care alone, and half will receive standard care plus access to a specially designed app. The app uses proven psychological techniques—like goal-setting and education—delivered by a psychologist through personalized feedback to help families build lasting healthy behaviors.
Childhood obesity is a growing health problem that can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions. This trial is testing whether adding digital coaching through an app can make standard obesity treatment even more effective at helping children reach a healthier weight and improve their overall health.

If your child is selected, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive standard care including nutrition counseling and physiotherapy. If you're in the app group, you'll also use a smartphone app for 20 weeks—your family will set goals, and a psychologist will provide personalized feedback to support healthy eating and activity habits. You'll have check-in visits at the start, after 20 weeks, and again 6 months later to see how your child is doing.
