Effectiveness of RESET care program: A real-world-evidence on managing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through digital health interventions.

BACKGROUND

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) management requires sustainable lifestyle modifications. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the RESET care plan, a comprehensive program that is an integrated personalized diet, exercise, and cognitive behavior therapy, delivered via MyTatva's digital health application enabled through a body composition analyzer (BCA) and smartwatch.

AIM: To evaluates the effectiveness of the comprehensive program delivered via MyTatva's digital health app enabled through internet of thing devices.

METHODS

This retrospective observational study analyzed deidentified data from 22 participants enrolled in the MyTatva RESET care program. Participants were divided into three groups: Group A, diet plan; Group B, diet + exercise plan; and Group C, diet + exercise + cognitive behavioral therapy plan. Participants were provided with a BCA and smartwatch for continuous monitoring of anthropometric parameters. Statistical analysis, including one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey's Honest Significant Difference test, was conducted to compare mean changes in anthropometric parameters across the groups.

RESULTS

All intervention groups showed significant improvement across all anthropometric parameters. Group C showed the most significant improvements, with mean weight reduction of 7% or more (6.99 ± 2.98 kg, 7.00% ± 3.39%; P = 0.002) from baseline, a benchmark associated with improved NAFLD conditions. Post-hoc analysis revealed that Group C had significantly greater improvements than Groups A and B. Weight reduction was observed in 85.7% of Group A participants, 77.8% of Group B participants, and 100% of Group C participants.

CONCLUSION

The comprehensive RESET care plan achieved a 7% weight reduction in 12 weeks, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing NAFLD. These results support adopting digitally supported, patient-centric approaches for NAFLD treatment.
