Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in a Remote Weight Management Program: 12-Month Retrospective Observational Study

This real-world evaluation demonstrates that remotely delivered, GLP-1RA-supported weight management programs can achieve weight loss outcomes that align closely with clinical trial results while potentially reducing health care costs by 10% to 70% compared to traditional UK services. Both the tirzepatide and semaglutide cohorts exceeded clinically significant weight loss thresholds with acceptable safety profiles and positive behavior changes. These findings support the feasibility and effectiveness of digital delivery models for expanding access to specialist obesity treatment within resource-constrained health care systems, with outcomes that compare favorably to pharmacological intervention alone.
