About Obesity and Diabetes Research

Obesity is linked to a higher chance of getting Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), high blood pressure, heart diseases, breathing problems during sleep, and many other health issues. Trying to lose weight by changing your lifestyle can be tough to keep up over time, and surgeries to lose weight can have major risks.

Velocity is now seeking participants for obesity and T2D studies. Beyond helping advance medicine, you may also:

Get study-related medical exams at no cost
Receive compensation for participating (available amounts may differ for each study)

After you submit your information, a Velocity enrollment specialist will contact you. Together, we’ll review studies that might be right for you and answer your questions.

Health insurance is NOT required to join. There is never an obligation to participate — we’re here to help you make the best decision.
