Study Summary

This trial will examine if a food response training program is feasible for patients with obesity.

Who is the study for?
This study is for adults aged 18-80 with obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2) who have access to a computer or iPhone/iPad, including those willing to use a loaner smartphone from the study. It's not for individuals who've had bariatric surgery in the last 2 years, are on certain medications, pregnant or planning pregnancy soon, enrolled in other dietary interventions, had significant weight changes recently, can't engage with English software due to impairments or language barriers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Food Response Training (FRT) as a method to promote healthy eating habits among obese patients at NYU Langone Health. Participants will be monitored over three months and some will provide saliva samples for genetic analysis related to eating behaviors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves behavioral training rather than medication, traditional side effects like you might see with drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience frustration or lack of motivation if they find it difficult to change their eating habits.
