Treatment and study plan

Nutritional telemonitoring

Other

Participants receive a weighing scale, pedometer and television channel in order to perform self measurements and receive guidance on nutrition and physical activity. Nurses use a website in order to receive telemonitoring measurements and decide about proper follow-up. In case of risk of undernutrition, nurses provide personal advice to optimize nutritional status of the participant.
