“At Noom, we pair artificial intelligence with human coaches to help us predict the future,” said Dr. Michaelides. “By understanding the past behaviors and attitudes of all types of users, we know the best way to meet our users where they are in their journey to help them maximize their chance of long-term weight loss success.”

As one of the most popular weight loss programs in the world, Noom Coach leverages more than 4 billion data points of behavior patterns from more than 45 million people.

Lifestyle, exercise and diet data is entered by consumers as part of their daily routines, providing Noom Coach with real insight into what works and doesn’t work in regard to healthy living and behavior change.

Noom Coach updated its mobile weight loss program on Dec. 26, 2017 to integrate learnings from the most successful behavior patterns and attitudes found among their user base.
