Noom vs Oura

About

Noom is a digital health company founded in 2008 that has grown into one of the most widely used weight management platforms, serving millions of members through its psychology-driven approach to behavior change. The platform combines daily lessons on cognitive behavioral techniques, food logging with a traffic-light color-coding system, personal coaching from trained health coaches, and group support to help members change their relationship with food and exercise. Noom raised over $540M and reached a $3.7B valuation, establishing it as a leading consumer digital health company. The company has expanded beyond weight loss into a broader weight health platform addressing both weight management and weight-related conditions including type 2 diabetes management with its Noom Med offering that includes GLP-1 medication prescribing. As GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have transformed the weight loss market, Noom has positioned its behavioral coaching as essential to sustainable results alongside medication. The platform serves both direct-to-consumer subscribers and employer health plans that offer Noom as a weight management benefit for their workforces.
