From nagging to engagement
One parent describes how their child began to engage more in the treatment and how repeated nagging was gradually replaced by greater participation and cooperation.
For families
Support in everyday life – not just at the next appointment
Evira is used with your healthcare provider for the treatment of childhood obesity. Follow your progress at home without focusing on kilos and get support from the clinic along the way.
Treatment primarily happens in everyday life
It's between appointments that meals, activities, school, weekends, and normal family routines happen.
Evira helps you and the healthcare provider follow how the treatment develops over time – making it easier to understand what works and when you might need support.
Less focus on kilograms
The measuring plate does not show the child's weight. In the app, you instead follow development over time.
Easier to understand development
See the trend and treatment goal instead of focusing on a single measurement.
Closer to healthcare
You can communicate with the clinic in the app and the healthcare provider can follow development between visits.
How it works
A few seconds a day provide a picture over time
01
Measure at home
The child steps onto Evira's measuring plate. No weight is displayed on the plate.
02
Follow progress
The measurement is transferred to the app and becomes part of the progress curve. There you can see how things are going in relation to the treatment goal.
03
Get support along the way
The healthcare provider can follow your progress and you can communicate directly in the app.
Daily measurement – without daily focus on weight
It is perfectly reasonable to react to the idea of a child weighing themselves often.
Evira is designed so that the measurement isn't about the number on the scales. The child doesn't need to see their weight.
Instead, recurring measurements are used to help the family and the healthcare provider understand the development over a longer period.
A single day is not what matters. It is the trend over time that is relevant for the treatment.
“The idea of weighing my child every day felt alien and uncomfortable.”
Families' experiences
When treatment becomes part of everyday life
Support even when things go awry
Families describe how important it is to get support even when progress temporarily goes awry – and to understand the treatment as a long-term commitment.
Someone follows along the way
The chat, the feedback, and the feeling that healthcare staff are following progress are highlighted as important parts of the treatment.
Part of the treatment
Not a standalone weight app
Evira is used together with the healthcare provider as part of clinical treatment for childhood obesity.
It helps the family and the healthcare team follow the treatment between visits, while the healthcare provider is responsible for medical assessments and treatment.
- Used in clinical practice since 2018
- Documented clinical effect
- Used by childhood obesity teams in Sweden and internationally
