A pilot randomized trial was done to test the feasibility integrating virtual reality (VR) into standard behavioral weight loss treatment.
Participants with overweight or obesity are randomly assigned to a 4-week Standard Behavioral Weight Loss plus Non-Weight-Related VR app (i.e., Control Group) or Standard Behavioral Weight Loss plus Weight-Related VR app (i.e., Intervention Group). The Intervention's VR tool was designed to enable practice of behavioral skills taught in weekly group meetings, including managing social and home environmental cues for eating and activity.
