Abstract
Abstract: Health coaching and telemonitoring are both considered a growing healthcare strategy that focuses on a patient-centered motivational approach to support behavior change and enhance adherence to health goals including dietary interventions. This review aimed to define and de-scribe both health coaching and telemonitoring in weight management interventions, including a literature review on the effectiveness of incorporating health coaching and telemonitoring into di-etary weight loss interventions, addressing the ongoing global challenge of obesity and its asso-ciated health risks, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Traditional dietary interven-tions often yield initial weight loss, however sustaining these results remains difficult due to fac-tors associated with lifestyles and motivation. Health coaching offers a personalized support and guidance to help clients establish and maintain healthier habits by setting achievable foals and building self-efficacy and fostering accountability, whereas telemonitoring via digital tool such as mobile apps and wearable devices provided tracking dietary and health measures allowing continuous monitoring and self-awareness. Our review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from the past decade confirms that combining health coaching with telemonitoring improves weight loss outcomes, enhance adherence to lifestyle changes and positively impact chronic con-dition markers such as blood pressure and HbA1C levels. These integrated interventions also show promise in boosting mental well-being and enhance the quality of life. Findings highlights the potential of such integrative approaches in creating a sustainable, accessible, and scalable weight management in particularly for individuals at risk of obesity related health issues. Future research should focus on optimizing health coaching and telemonitoring tools to accommodate diverse populations for a long-term adherence.
