Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to explore how bariatric care has been influenced and transformed by technological innovations. A clinical vignette will be used to highlight the potential benefits of such innovations for bariatric patient care. The role of technology in general self-management and the influence of health technology in bariatric care will be discussed. This will be followed by an overview of the potential role of technology in bariatric care and its accompanying benefits. The authors will then provide an overview of the potential limitations of bariatric applications that are currently made available on the respective application stores. Taking into consideration these limitations, examples of evidence-based technological interventions for bariatric care will be illustrated and further discussed.
