Nemaura announces interim results from collaboration with UK National Health

Nemaura Medical announced interim results from its metabolic health program. The primary objective of the study was to establish whether a metabolic program with a daily wear CGM worn twice a month resulted in greater engagement levels and sustainable weight reduction, and how this compared to other programs. The multi-centered study was run in collaboration with the UK’s National Health Service. The study tracked 83 participants, with a mean age of 54 years old. The cohort was made up of 67% female, and 33% male, and 88% of participants recorded their ethnicity as ‘White’. After 20 weeks of enrolment, 59 people had recorded weight loss, with 21 participants losing over 5KG. On an average basis, weight loss was 2.9KG, with the rate of change increasing after week 8. After 20 weeks of use, the program had a retention rate of 32.5%. When active participants were asked whether they would continue with the program, 64% of respondents stated they were likely or very likely to continue to use the program. This far exceeds retention rates for health and wellbeing apps of 16.7% at 13 weeks and 6.9% at 26 weeks.
