What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this project is to study how well the Noom digital lifestyle program works for adults who are taking Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1) medications. The study team will assess how the program affects people's behaviors and health outcomes. The team will also look at how digital lifestyle change interventions can be implemented in real-world settings, including how many people it reaches, how well it is put into practice, whether people stick with it over time, and whether it works well for different groups of people.
