About Smart Obesity Services (SOS)

Transforming Obesity Care for Healthcare Professionals Across Europe

Smart Obesity Services (SOS) was founded with a clear vision: to empower healthcare professionals to take the lead in transforming obesity management. The numbers don’t lie—obesity is on the rise globally, and the time to act is now. We know that healthcare systems are struggling to keep up, with resources stretched thin and specialized training in obesity management almost nonexistent. Today, over 1 billion people are living with obesity, and this figure is only growing. Despite its widespread impact, obesity is often sidelined in medical education, leaving many healthcare professionals without the skills or confidence they need to provide effective care. SOS is here to change that.

Addressing a Critical Gap in Medical Education

Obesity isn’t just about excess weight. It’s a complex, chronic condition that touches every aspect of health—impacting metabolic, endocrine, and inflammatory systems, and often leading to conditions like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even cancer. Yet, too often, training on obesity care is insufficient or entirely missing from medical curricula. This leaves healthcare providers, particularly those in private practice, feeling unprepared and overwhelmed when faced with patients who need specialized, compassionate care.

SOS aims to fill this gap with meaningful, independent learning opportunities. We know that healthcare professionals want to make a difference, but they need the right tools. Our goal is straightforward: to equip you with practical, evidence-backed resources so you can confidently provide informed, empathetic care. We understand that your time is precious and clinical demands are always evolving. That’s why our courses are designed to fit into your schedule, empowering you to make impactful changes, even on your busiest days. 

 Our Vision: A Future Where Every Provider Makes a Difference

At SOS, we believe in a future where every healthcare professional has the skills, knowledge, and confidence to provide outstanding, patient-centered obesity care. We want to close the educational gap that holds providers back from offering the best possible care and to ease the burden that obesity places on healthcare systems across Europe.

Addressing obesity effectively requires a holistic approach—one that includes lifestyle changes, medical interventions, and psychosocial support. Our programs are not just about giving generic advice. We dig deep into the complexities of obesity, approaching it as a chronic disease that requires individualized, ongoing management. Our mission is to help you support your patients every step of the way, without judgment, and with the empathy they deserve.
