Obesity is an important health concern that poses many public health challenges. Evidence-based treatment modalities, capable of cost-effectively reaching large patient groups are needed. In this paper, we present the design and methods of the updated national, 12-month, digital weight management program, the Healthy Weight Coaching (HWC). The major updates, as compared to the previous version, are related to the theoretical background of the obesity management and updated BMI cut-offs. The HWC is available, based on physicians' referrals, to adult Finnish citizens with BMI ≥30 kg/m
