FC26 – Keynote: Behavior Change at Scale What Digital Health Makes Possible 

Dr. Jeff Egler, Chief Medical Officer at Noom, discussed the transformative impact of Noom’s digital health platform on healthcare. He highlighted the shift from reactive to proactive care, emphasizing the importance of well-being in adding both years to life span and health span. Noom’s platform uses technology, medicine, and psychology to address barriers to care, such as access, engagement, and durability. Key metrics include a 10x increase in engagement, 25% more weight loss at 40 weeks, and 75% of members sustaining a 5% weight loss for a year. The platform’s personalized approach and use of GLP medications, combined with behavior change strategies, lead to durable health improvements and cost savings for insurers and employers.
