Table 3.
SmartLoss participants' satisfaction ratings for the intervention. The Likert ratings ranged from 1 (e.g., Extremely Inconvenient, etc.) to 6 (e.g., Extremely Convenient, etc.). Question 3 asks about the activity sensor bothering subjects; thus, lower ratings reflect better ratings. The number (and percent in parentheses) of subjects endorsing each rating per question is provided in the table. Eighteen SmartLoss participants completed the satisfaction questionnaire.
