DESCRIPTION
Noom Health combines mobile technology with behavioral psychology to deliver preventive interventions to populations at risk for chronic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes.

Through a combination of automated and human interventions, Noom Health coaches patients to control their diet and activity levels in a sustainable manner. A variety of tools aid in this process. For instance, the virtual coach delivers timely, tailored guidance and motivation, while in-app support groups led by trained facilitators bolster patient engagement.
