A viewpoint in the Journal of Medical Internet Research proposes that digital behavioural support could help during and after GLP-1 treatment. Its proposed opportunity for habit formation is a hypothesis requiring prospective and randomised testing. The paper draws partly on adjacent research and observational engagement data, which can be affected by selection bias. It does not demonstrate that SHIFT, or any particular digital companion, improves treatment persistence or prevents weight regain.
