Mohali: As India faces a rising burden of obesity, lifestyle-related disorders and metabolic diseases, the need for structured and sustainable weight management support is increasing.
Healthify, an AI-powered health and fitness platform, has partnered with Fortis Healthcare to launch a hospital-based weight management programme aimed at helping individuals adopt healthier lifestyles through medical supervision, personalised nutrition planning, structured coaching and continuous digital monitoring.
The programme has been introduced at Fortis Hospital Mohali and will be scaled in phases across other Fortis centres based on outcomes and learnings.
Many individuals struggle not only with losing weight but also with maintaining healthier habits over the long term. The new initiative aims to address this gap by combining hospital-led clinical care with day-to-day guidance that supports lasting behavioural change.
Under the programme’s clinic-led model, patients will first undergo evaluation by endocrinologists and clinical experts at Fortis Hospital Mohali. Based on their health profile, goals and risk factors, they will be enrolled in personalised care pathways that may include dietary counselling, activity planning, lifestyle modification, metabolic assessments and regular progress reviews.
Where medically necessary, treatment may also include additional clinical interventions under specialist supervision. However, the programme emphasises sustainable habit change and long-term health improvement as its foundation.
Healthify’s digital platform will support patients between consultations by enabling the tracking of food intake, physical activity, sleep patterns and other key health indicators. This continuous monitoring allows doctors, coaches and patients to refine care plans in real time while helping individuals stay engaged with their health goals.
Emphasising that sustainable weight management is not about quick fixes, Swapnil Garg, Vice President, India at Healthify, said, “Weight management is about helping people make healthier choices every day and supporting them with the right medical guidance, coaching and tools. Our partnership with Fortis Healthcare is built around that philosophy — creating a structured, clinically backed programme that empowers people to improve their health in a practical, personalised and sustainable way.”
Dr Vitish Singh, Consultant – Minimal Access Metabolic Surgery, Fortis Hospital Mohali, said, “Weight management is ultimately about improving overall health and quality of life. While some patients may require surgical or medical interventions, the cornerstone of long-term success lies in healthier eating, regular physical activity, behaviour change and ongoing clinical guidance. Through this partnership, we aim to provide patients with a comprehensive and medically supervised pathway that supports not just weight loss but healthier living.”
