Most medical weight loss programmes cite the same general clinical trials. Juniper, however, has multiple peer-reviewed studies showing real-world health improvements for its members.

Research at Juniper

As part of our commitment to improving digital care standards, we’re sharing our learnings with the wider medical community.

We’re publishing research in the emerging space of digital healthcare on the quality and safety of our programmes, along with patient adherence and satisfaction.

All our publications utilise real-world evidence, gathered from non-incentivised, self-directed members. This generates important insights into members with everyday challenges: juggling cost, work and family commitments.

Through publishing our peer-reviewed research, we’re committed to making a meaningful contribution to the medical community.
