Interviews
We at Evira have spoken to parents in three different families whose children are undergoing treatment for obesity and are using our digital treatment tool. The aim is to provide insight into what the treatment journey can look like.
How long have you been using Evira as part of the treatment?
We have been using Evira as part of the treatment for about six months. We were first introduced to it about a year ago. At first, I was very skeptical. The idea of weighing my child every day felt strange and uncomfortable. I didn’t want it to become a part of her daily routine to stand on a scale, so I initially said no.
As the treatment progressed, Evira was recommended to us several times. At one point, the healthcare provider showed me the app and how everything worked in a more visual way, which made it feel less intimidating. The provider also explained it directly to my child in a way that made it feel more natural for both of us.
That was actually one of the biggest challenges for me as a parent—I was afraid of saying something wrong to my child. The healthcare provider has been an invaluable support for us as a family in that regard.
What made you decide to give Evira a chance?
It was the healthcare provider’s patience and ability to explain things in a pedagogical way. She showed me how the measurement tool works, gave examples of curves, and explained the benefits, which made it feel less intimidating. Additionally, I realized that we needed to do something, as my child continued to gain weight. Eventually, I felt ready to give it a try.
How has it been to use the tool in daily life?
It has had its ups and downs. In the beginning, it was quite difficult to see the curve’s development so clearly. It’s not always fun to see, but at the same time, it became a motivation for me to keep going. At times, the curve has gone both up and down, and I’ve learned to reflect on what has influenced its development. It serves as a reminder of what we are doing right—and sometimes what we need to improve.
How have you experienced the support from healthcare providers through Evira?
- The caregivers 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 stay focused and understand that this is a long-term endeavor.
Are there any disadvantages to the tool?
- I think if you have a hard time accepting that your weight can go up and down, it can be tough to use the tool. You have to understand that it's a long-term journey, not something that changes overnight. It took me time to come to that realization, and now I'm more relaxed about the fact that we sometimes miss a measurement on a day or that the results vary.
Would you recommend Evira's tools to other families in similar situations?
- Absolutely, but I think it's important to get all the information from the beginning and that the caregivers are there to support you, especially in the beginning. It took me a while to get used to the idea, but now I see that it helps us stay on top of things and make better choices for my child's health over time.
A parent's story: How Evira changed our everyday lives
How do you think Evira has worked for you?
– It has been very practical and provides good feedback that suits our family. I usually cook the food, and it is valuable to see how certain choices affect weight. The curve helps us see progress without there being a strict focus on weight.
How do you experience contact with healthcare professionals through Evira?
– It works great! The chat function makes it easy to communicate directly with the healthcare staff, and it's convenient that it's integrated into the same app. The fact that the staff at the children's clinic is 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 benefit and I haven't actually seen any downsides.
Would you recommend Evira to other families?
– Yes, I think it can be helpful for many. It's worth trying if it fits into the family's routine. I wish we had had access to Evira earlier because then we would have been further along today.
"Evira – a tool that helps families create sustainable routines and strengthen collaboration with healthcare professionals"
How did it feel when you were first introduced to Evira?
– I found it quite easy. The caregivers helped us install the app and connect everything. It is an easy-to-understand tool and has been very positive to use during the treatment journey.
Which part of Evira have you found most valuable as a parent?
– I think the best thing is to be able to follow the progress. Sometimes you think you are doing the right things, but with Evira you can immediately see how it affects the curve. For example, we clearly noticed during the summer when the routines were released that the curve went away. When we returned to our routines, things got better again. It has made us more aware of the importance of sticking to good habits.
How has it been to be able to communicate with healthcare professionals via Evira?
– It has been really smooth! It is always nice to get quick answers to simple questions. The nurses are in control and follow the progress. They have also encouraged us and given us tips, which has felt safe and made us not feel alone in the process.
Would you recommend Evira to other families?
– Absolutely, I would! The whole concept is fantastic. As a parent, you get accessible support and a clear tool that really makes a difference.
