EXPERIMENTAL: Noom Health Weight Program

The mobile cognitive behavior change program follows guidelines from the Obesity Society's "2013 Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults" NIH "Practical Guide on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults". There are 52 weeks of curriculum with 1-3 articles to read per day. Users are requested to perform weight logging once daily and food logging after each meal. Users are assigned human coaches and are able to interact with them via in-app messaging or phone communication. Users are also assigned to support groups via in-app messaging. |
