An analysis of Google Trends shows the weight loss program, Noom, is one of the “Top Trending Diets” in 2018 based on an aggregation of trillions of search queries.

Every year, Google conducts a “Year in Search” analysis, looking for the “top trending” searches that showed the highest spike in traffic year-over-year. The annual campaign identifies what people around the globe are most curious about in 2018 relative to 2017.

This year was our biggest year ever when it came to signups for our healthy weight loss program. Everyone from People Magazine to Men’s Health to 39-year-old Matt Moore-Waitkus of Grove City, Ohio has raved about the weight loss results they experienced with Noom.

Saeju Jeong, CEO and Co-Founder of Noom

In 2018, Millennials helped Noom become one of the fastest growing healthy weight loss programs on Google.

Noom is a mobile behavior change program that combines technology with the empathy of real human coaches to help consumers get healthier and lose weight. Members receive access to a proprietary weight loss curriculum, log personal health information, like their weight, height, diet, exercise habits and their overall lifestyle routines on a mobile app and then receive guidance from a personal health coach about specific behaviors they should change to lead a healthier life.

The CEO and Co-founder of Noom, Saeju Jeong, says the 2018 #YearInSearch results don’t surprise him based on the feedback they continually hear from customers. He says consumers are looking for a better weight management service that works over the long-term.

“This year was our biggest year ever when it came to signups for our healthy weight loss program,” said Jeong. “Everyone from People Magazine to Men’s Health to 39-year-old Matt Moore-Waitkus of Grove City, Ohio has raved about the weight loss results they experienced with Noom.”

How Noom Works

Noom users work with dedicated health coaches who guide and motivate them throughout their weight loss journey, while also teaching new habits to promote long-term behavior change.

The coaches, aided by Noom’s patented AI technology, help users stick to their weight loss plan. 47 million people around the globe have logged more than 4 billion behavioral data points using Noom.

–
For the first time, artificial intelligence and human coaches have quantified the behavior patterns and attitudes of people who complete their weight loss goals, providing new guidance for consumers on how to succeed with their New Year’s resolution.

The analysis was conducted by Noom, the leader in mobile health coaching, involving more than 20 million people across the U.S. and more than 4 billion data points of behavior patterns logged on the platform. Consumers enter their lifestyle, exercise and diet data with Noom Coach, giving the behavior change company a unique view on Americans’ health habits.

We already know past behaviors and attitudes are strong indicators of what will happen in the future. Using big data, we are now able to quantify the past in novel ways and help users change patterns to avoid the unique pitfalls that have prevented them from finding success.

Dr. Andreas Michaelides, Noom’s Chief of Psychology

Dr. Andreas Michaelides, Noom’s Chief of Psychology, predicts artificial intelligence and human coaches will increasingly work together to help more consumers succeed with their New Year’s resolutions in 2018.

“By analyzing all types of user attitudes and behavior patterns, we help consumers embark on a weight loss journey that maximizes their chances for finding weight loss resolution success,” said Dr. Michaelides. “We already know past behaviors and attitudes are strong indicators of what will happen in the future. Using big data, we are now able to quantify the past in novel ways and help users change patterns to avoid the unique pitfalls that have prevented them from finding success.”

Behavior Patterns of Consumers Who Succeed With Their Weight Loss Goals

Noom’s analysis specifically looked for behavior patterns and attitudes shared by people who achieve their weight loss goals. The analysis uncovered some common themes that include common habits, including:

1) Creating an “SOS Plan” to navigate past future failures. The “emergency” plan provides these consumers with role-playing scenarios when failure feels imminent.

2) Choosing an accountability partner to assist with the journey. Consumers who succeed never try alone.

3) Physically writing out the actions that didn’t work in the past.

4) Identifying and understanding their own psychological triggers.

5) Setting realistic goals that are more achievable and set a “super goal,” which maximizes success rate.

6) Weighing themselves daily. Consumers who weigh themselves once in the first week have a 13 percent chance of finishing their weight loss resolution, while consumers who weigh themselves daily, have a 64 percent chance of success.

Noom updated its mobile weight loss program in December 2017, integrating psychological tricks surrounding the most successful behavior patterns and attitudes found among consumers who achieve their long-term weight loss goals.

The co-founder and President of Noom, Artem Petakov, says this latest launch makes Noom the first mobile program to curate successful behavior patterns and attitudes from around the globe, using consumer data from over 45 million people.

“Noom Coach is not a quick fix or a diet. Our behavioral program ignites long-term changes that help consumers get healthier and stay healthier over time,” said Petakov. “Together, our human coaches and artificial intelligence platform are changing the way consumers get healthy in the next generation.”

Noom Inc., the leader in mobile health coaching, is the first to offer fully Spanish behavior change programs that address prediabetes and obesity.

Noom’s Spanish diabetes prevention and healthy weight management programs have helped expand the reach and accessibility of lifestyle interventions among Hispanic Americans who are at increased risk of developing these conditions. Noom’s robust food database, program-specific curriculum content and program features are now all translated in Spanish, and supported by a native Spanish-speaking health coach.

“Noom’s commitment is to increase uptake, flexibility, and accessibility of our behavior change programs, to prevent and manage chronic conditions like diabetes.”

Saeju Jeong, CEO and Co-founder at Noom

According to the American Heart Association, Hispanics and Latinos face even higher risks of cardiovascular diseases caused by conditions like high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. Hispanic Americans are approximately 50% more likely to die from diabetes than non-Hispanic caucasian Americans. According to the CDC, while 40% of US adults are expected to develop type 2 diabetes over their lifetimes, that number is even higher for Hispanic men and women—more than 50%.

“Noom’s platform and scalable behavior change programs are designed to meet people where they are — on their mobile phones — while addressing the diverse needs of any population,” said Saeju Jeong, CEO and Co-founder at Noom.

The multi-language capability of Noom’s platform expands beyond Spanish to include Korean, Japanese and German, in addition to English. Noom’s structured programs span the acuity spectrum and include: healthy weight management, diabetes prevention, diabetes management, hypertension prevention, hypertension management, and comorbid diabetes and hypertension management.

While Noom’s pre-chronic programs are available directly to consumers, both Noom’s pre-chronic and chronic programs are available to enterprise customers. Large employers, health plans, providers, and systems have leveraged Noom’s platform to prevent and manage chronic disease, resulting in improved health outcomes, higher productivity, and lower healthcare costs. Noom is also a member of the Solera Health integrated network in which eligible participants can elect to participate in an English or Spanish version of Noom’s diabetes prevention program.
