A real-world observational study published in Nature Medicine reports outcomes for 8,127 women starting GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy (99.8% tirzepatide) through a structured digital program in the UK, featuring mandatory biochemical monitoring, weekly video-supported follow-up, and clinician-guided dose titration.
- Mean weight loss was 16.1 kg (15.5% of body weight), with high retention and marked metabolic improvement.
- No serious adverse events were observed, and the model required minimal clinician support, suggesting strong scalability.
