Obesity is a complex, long-term public health challenge linked to reduced life expectancy and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and poor mental health. In England, 66% of adults and 26% of children aged 2–15 are overweight or living with obesity. Many services provide short-term, clinic-based programmes that are resource-intensive and poorly suited to the long-term support obesity requires.
Obesity places a major and growing burden on the NHS. It is estimated to cost the NHS in England £6.5billion per year and increases the risk of multiple costly long-term conditions. In children aged 2–15 alone, weight-related health problems are estimated to generate around £340 million per year in additional healthcare costs.
Evira is a clinically and scientifically evaluated digital solution for weight management for children, young people and adults. It combines continuous home-based support with structured clinical oversight. Patients use a numberless scale and app-based progress tracking focused on trends and target areas, supporting self-management without stigma. Clinical teams use a dashboard to monitor real-world data, identify non-responders early and intervene at pivotal moments through remote follow-up and secure messaging. This enables earlier, more continuous and more sustainable support across community, primary and specialist care.
Implementing Evira enables earlier intervention, more continuous support between appointments and improved long-term engagement in treatment. This can improve adherence, reduce drop-out and support more sustainable outcomes by helping patients stay engaged over time rather than relying only on short-term, clinic-based input. For services, Evira supports more efficient use of clinical time through remote follow-up, earlier identification of non-responders and reduced reliance on face-to-face visits, helping teams manage larger caseloads and deliver care closer to home.
