Collaborative Development of Obesity Intervention Strategies and Digital Tools in Denmark

This study examines the results of the application of a bottom-up approach for collaboratively developing effective strategies and digital solutions for obesity prevention and healthy behavior promotion in Denmark. The results of two rounds of participatory workshop sessions conducted in early 2024 involving different stakeholders and target users are described. The results of the study confirm that bottom-up approaches, coupled with technological innovation, constitute an effective instrument to address the socially context-dependent and complex nature of obesity. The codeveloped intervention strategies and digital tools offer evidence-based suggestions for policymakers, health practitioners, and developers who want to invest in sustainable, user-initiated approaches to preventing obesity.
