We have an idea for an app for obesity patients. For Track 1, should the focus be on improving self reported data collection to augment interaction with the PCP, or on encouraging wellness (better habits, etc.) or both I guess?

Hello! This is a great question. For Track 1, the aim is to help patients collect their own data to improve their interaction with healthcare providers/doctors, and then ideally be able to use that for consented observational clinical research. While there may be some encouragement of wellness habits, the main objective is to ensure easier and compelling ways for patients to gather their data, for doctors and HCPs to review it to help manage their regimens, and for consent to be possible to aggregate those data to do observational clinical research to discover more insights at scale, such as how new medicines, risk factors and other parameters may affect the condition’s course.
