BEHAVIORAL
Digital Behavioral Application
Noom® provides well-established behavioral strategies for weight loss and weight maintenance, such as self-monitoring of diet, exercise, and weight. What Noom® adds is education on the physiological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that influence eating behavior and tools that increase self-efficacy for dealing with those stimuli. For example, Noom® has a lesson that defines social triggers, explains the influence social triggers have on motivation to eat, and asks the participant to identify their own social triggers and a plan for managing triggers should they come up. Then the app prompts participants to report back on how they managed or struggled to manage a trigger and responds accordingly. Participants will be prescribed 15 minutes of use per day per Noom® recommendations, which includes interactive lessons, food logging, and weigh-ins.
