We at Evira have spoken to parents in two different families, whose children are being treated for obesity and are using our digital treatment tool. The aim is to give an insight into what the treatment journey can look like.

A personal journey
How long have you had treatment with Evira?
- We have used Evira as part of the treatment for about 6 months. We were first introduced to it about a year ago. I was very skeptical at first. The idea of weighing my baby every day felt foreign and uncomfortable. I didn't want standing on a scale to become part of her everyday life, so I said no from the start. Based on the treatment development, Evira was recommended to us on several occasions.
At one point, the caregiver showed me the app and how everything worked more visually for me as a parent and then it didn't feel as awkward anymore. The caregiver explained directly to my child in a way that made it feel more natural to both of us.
It was actually one of the biggest challenges for me as a parent, I was worried about saying something wrong to my child. The caregiver has been an invaluable support in that matter for us as a family.
What made you give Evira a chance anyway?
- It was the healthcare provider's patience and way of explaining in an educational way. She showed me how the measurement tool works, gave examples of curves and explained the benefits, which made it feel less intimidating. Also, I saw that we needed to do something, as my child had continued to gain weight. Finally, I felt ready to try.
How has it been to use the tool in everyday life?
- It has been up and down. In the beginning, it was actually quite difficult to see the development of the curve in black and white. It's not always fun to watch, but at the same time it became a motivation for me to continue. In periods the curve has gone both up and down, and I have learned to reflect on what influenced the development of the curve. It becomes like a reminder of what we are doing right - and sometimes what we need to improve.
How have you experienced the support from the healthcare provider through Evira?
- The healthcare provider's are fantastic. They support us all the way and cheer us on even if things don't go as we hope. For them, the most important thing is that we continue with the measurements and that we don't give up, which has helped me as a parent to keep the right focus and understand that this is a long-term effort.
Are there any downsides to the tool?
- The healthcare provider's are fantastic. They support us all the way and cheer us on even if things don't go as we hope. For them, the most important thing is that we continue with the measurements and that we don't give up, which has helped me as a parent to keep the right focus and understand that this is a long-term effort.
Would you recommend Evira's tools to other families in similar situations?
- Absolutely, but I think it is important that you get all the information from the beginning and that the healthcare provider's are there as support, especially at the beginning. It took me a while to get used to the idea, but now I see that it helps us stay on track and make better choices for my child's health over time.
A parent's story:
How Evira changed our everyday life
How do you think Evira has worked for you?
- It has been very practical and gives good feedback that suits our family. I cook most of the time, and it's valuable to see how certain choices affect weight. The curve helps us see the development without a strict focus on weight.
How do you experience the contact with the healthcare staff through Evira?
- It works great! The chat function makes it easy to communicate directly with the healthcare staff, and it is convenient that it is integrated in the same app. That the staff at the children's reception are committed to my son is a prerequisite for this to work.
Has Evira had an effect on the family's everyday life?
- Absolutely. It has helped us change our eating habits. We eat better as a family, which feels like the biggest win and I haven't actually seen any disadvantages.
Would you recommend Evira to other families?
- Yes, I think it can be helpful for many. It's worth trying if it fits into your family's routine. I wish we had gained access to Evira earlier because then we would have been further ahead today.
