Can a phone app help GLP-1 users eat better and move more?
NCT ID NCT07481305
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will test whether a 4-month digital coaching program (Noom) helps adults who recently started GLP-1 medications improve their diet and physical activity. About 220 participants will use the app to track food and exercise, get coaching, and learn about managing challenges with GLP-1s. The goal is to see if this approach works in real-world settings and for different groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Digital lifestyle coaching program (Noom app with tailored modules for GLP-1 users)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that digital coaching helps people on GLP-1 medications adopt healthier habits, potentially improving long-term weight management and health outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage implementation study, not a large-scale trial. Results may not apply to all GLP-1 users, and the program's effectiveness depends on participants sticking with it.
