About this trial

The study is aimed at patients who suffer from severe obesity and receive a computerised tomography (CT) scan of the heart. A total of 1200 patients across Europe are to take part in the study. It is a multi-centre, controlled, open, randomised study. As part of the study, a citizen app will be installed on a smartphone for randomly selected study participants. A fitness tracker will also be issued so that certain parameters, such as heart rate and daily number of steps, can be recorded.
