Transitioning a sustainable weight management program to a virtual platform for greater accessibility

A novel weight loss program known as the Individualized Diet Improvement Program (iDip) was transitioned to an online platform, renamed EMPOWER. Transitioning to the online platform required the development of online session materials, interactive food selection and weight tracking, and remote communication methods. While the transition proved to be successful with the most current cohort of summer 2021, there are multiple features being improved for greater usability.
