Mount Sinai Health System, a leading health system in the United States and one of the largest in the New York City area, and Noom, the leading digital health care company committed to chronic disease prevention and empowering people to live better and healthier lives, have partnered to provide patients with a whole-person approach to healthy, long-lasting weight loss.
The collaboration between Mount Sinai and Noom aims to provide patients with always-on digital behaviour-change support as they work towards their health goals between doctor visits while keeping Mount Sinai physicians informed of their patient’s progress to enhance care decisions.
The numbers are clear: 160 million adults in the United States want to improve their health and well-being through weight loss. For those affected by obesity, reducing weight by just 5–10 percent can improve risk factors and reduce medical complications.
“Every weight-loss journey is different, and Mount Sinai recognizes that patients have different needs that may also vary over time,” said Lauren Lisher, Senior Vice President of Mount Sinai Solutions. “We want to ensure our patients live their healthiest lives and are supported clinically and beyond. By integrating the Noom platform into our care approach, we’re enhancing the patient experience with digital tools that support their health goals. This partnership makes it easier for patients to embrace and stick to personalized care plans that seamlessly fit into their lifestyles."
As part of the launch of Mount Sinai’s partnership with Noom, select patient populations may now get a referral from their Mount Sinai physician for the scientifically proven Noom Weight app to help them change their eating habits through innovative technology and psychology. The system offers personalized support, including tailored nutrition plans, fitness, and macro tracking.
Additionally, Noom will offer access to world-leading experts at Mount Sinai for a variety of weight loss-related health care needs, ranging from ongoing chronic care support to any type of speciality or complex care needs.
"At Noom, we believe that true success in weight loss goes beyond just numbers on a scale; it's about holistically supporting every aspect of people's health," said Jodi Bryant, President of Healthcare at Noom. "By offering comprehensive, personalized support that addresses the full spectrum of our users' physical, emotional, and behavioural needs, we empower them to achieve lasting results. Our platform is designed to meet individuals where they are on their health journeys, providing the tools and guidance necessary to navigate and succeed at every stage.”
