Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Lifestyle intervention remains the cornerstone of weight loss programs in addition to pharmacological or surgical therapies. Artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies can offer individualized approaches to lifestyle intervention to enable people with obesity to reach successful weight loss.
METHODS: SureMediks, a digital lifestyle intervention platform using AI, was tested by 391 participants (58% women) with a broad range of BMI (20-78 kg/m2), with the aim of losing weight over 24 weeks in a multinational field trial. SureMediks consists of a mobile app, an Internet-connected scale, and a discipline of artificial intelligence called Expert system to provide individualized guidance and weight-loss management.
RESULTS: All participants lost body weight (average 14%, range 4-22%). Almost all (98.7%) participants lost at least 5% of body weight, 75% lost at least 10%, 43% at least 15%, and 9% at least 20%, suggesting that this AI-powered lifestyle intervention was also effective in reducing the burden of obesity co-morbidities. Weight loss was partially positively correlated with female sex, accountability circle size, and participation in challenges, while it was negatively correlated with sub-goal reassignment. The latter three variables are specific features of the SureMediks weight loss program.
CONCLUSIONS: An AI-assisted lifestyle intervention allowed people with different body sizes to lose 14% body weight on average, with 99% of them losing more than 5%, over 24 weeks. These results show that digital technologies and AI might provide a successful means to lose weight, before, during, and after pharmacological or surgical therapies.

摘要：
背景：除了药物或手术治疗外，生活方式干预仍然是减肥计划的基石。人工智能（AI）和其他数字技术可以提供个性化的生活方式干预方法，使肥胖者能够成功减肥。
方法：SureMediks，使用人工智能的数字生活方式干预平台，由391名参与者（58％为女性）进行了广泛的BMI（20-78kg/m2）测试，目的是在跨国现场试验中在24周内减肥。SureMediks由一个移动应用程序组成，互联网连接的规模，和一个学科的人工智能称为专家系统提供个性化的指导和减肥管理。
结果：所有参与者都减轻了体重（平均14％，范围4-22%）。几乎所有（98.7%）的参与者都失去了至少5%的体重，75%损失了至少10%,43%至少15%，9%，至少20%，这表明这种人工智能驱动的生活方式干预在减少肥胖共病负担方面也是有效的.体重减轻与女性性别部分呈正相关,问责圈大小，参与挑战，而与子目标重新分配呈负相关。后三个变量是SureMediks减肥计划的具体特征。
结论：AI辅助的生活方式干预使不同体型的人平均体重减少14％，99%的人损失超过5%，超过24周。这些结果表明，数字技术和人工智能可能会提供一种成功的减肥手段，之前，during,在药物或手术治疗后。
