  abstract =      { \emph{Introduction:} Effective weight-management interventions require frequent interactions with specialised multidiscipli- nary teams of medical, nutritional and behavioural experts to enact behavioural change. However, barriers that exist in rural areas, such as transportation and a lack of specialised services, can prevent patients from receiving quality care. \par  \emph{Methods:} We recruited patients from the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Weight \& Wellness Center into a single-arm, non- randomised study of a remotely delivered 16-week evidence-based healthy lifestyle programme. Every 4 weeks, partic- ipants completed surveys that included their willingness to pay for services like those experienced in the intervention. A two-item Willingness-to-Pay survey was administered to participants asking about their willingness to trade their face- to-face visits for videoconference visits based on commute and copay.\par  \emph{Results:} Overall, those with a travel duration of 31--45 min had a greater willingness to trade in-person visits for telehealth than any other group. Participants who had a travel duration less than 15 min, 16--30 min and 46--60 min experienced a positive trend in willingness to have telehealth visits until Week 8, where there was a general negative trend in willingness to trade in-person visits for virtual. Participants believed that telemedicine was useful and helpful.\par  \emph{Conclusions:} In rural areas where patients travel 30--45 min a telemedicine-delivered, intensive weight-loss interven- tion may be a well-received and cost-effective way for both patients and the clinical care team to connect.},
