Research at Juniper
Most medical weight loss programmes cite the same general clinical trials. Juniper, however, has multiple peer-reviewed studies showing real-world health improvements for its members.
As part of our commitment to improving digital care standards, we’re sharing our learnings with the wider medical community.
We’re publishing research in the emerging space of digital healthcare on the quality and safety of our programmes, along with patient adherence and satisfaction.

We prioritise patient safety
Juniper has been certified against the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) standard by ORCHA and the ISO-27001 cyber security standards. We’ve been inspected by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and meet their standards for care.
We audit more than 6,000 consults each month worldwide, constantly working to improve the safety and quality of the Juniper programme for our members. We believe this is an enormous benefit of online care.
Our team of registered healthcare professionals are here to support all of our members, whenever they need it. It’s our goal to work alongside the wider healthcare sector to support members with safe and effective care, enhanced by technology.
