According to "Public Health Guidelines for 2021–2027” the prevalence of obesity in society is significantly higher than the EU average – in Latvia, one in four women and one in six men are obese.However, existing approaches to obesity treatment tend to focus on individual responsibility, diet, and exercise. A newly developed approach should recognize the complexity of obesity and provide personalized citizen-centered, multidisciplinary care.Considering that people increasingly seek information via the Internet and other digital tools, a crucial factor is digital health literacy in promoting a healthy lifestyle. The project aims to utilise a comprehensive digital platform for a lifestyle-related health literacy program that is accessible and proactive. We will incorporate user-friendly digital tools for e-consent management and the collection of patient-reported experience measures data related to health literacy. Within the project objectives, we will create and validate health-related questionnaires and lifestyle recommendations,strengthen patients’ rights.Compare digital citizen engagement with face-to-face-surveying, evaluate the proactive citizen-centred health surveillance
