This review digs into the details by reading peer-reviewed articles and case studies and speaking with experts in the field about the effectiveness of employing technology-enabled weight management programs. It is essential to understand the mechanics and impact that an array of these solutions can deliver by briefly explaining selected technologies for user-facing platforms for weight management (e.g., mobile and web apps) and their back-end systems and application programming interfaces (APIs). We look at how personal insights, tailored or “just right” content, virtual coaching, chatbots, and artificial intelligence (e.g., IBM Watson) can impact behavior change strategies and, thus, long-term weight loss and weight loss maintenance outcomes. In addition, the potential and challenges of applying real-time and seamless integration for body-worn trackers and other health monitoring devices used for digital weight loss and weight loss maintenance to engage and empower individuals to manage their weight. Moreover, not to mention that it paves the way for augmented reality experiences, virtual communities, and predictive modeling for use in the future to enhance even more personalization, engagement, and support in the management of weight initiatives. This synthesis of current evidence and insights aims to inform future research, practice, and policy initiatives in the technology field for overcoming the challenges of overweight and obesity, aiming to promote healthier lifestyles and better patient outcomes.
