Accolade, Inc. announced that Noom has joined Accolade's Trusted Partner Ecosystem to provide customers with a comprehensive solution for weight loss and metabolic health, including support for GLP-1s and other anti-obesity medications. In addition to the standard integrated features that drive appropriate Trusted Partner utilization, Noom's clinical obesity management solution, Noom Med, will be powered by Accolade physicians extensively trained in weight loss protocols and advanced primary care. The addition of Noom to Accolade's partner ecosystem builds on Accolade's existing partnership in the metabolic space with Virta Health.

Accolade and Noom's partnership offers employers a comprehensive, evidence-based model with personalized offerings for an employer's entire population, including connecting higher-risk members with Accolade physicians. This partnership empowers employers to stem the rising healthcare costs associated with obesity and its many comorbid conditions - and to ensure increasingly in-demand GLP-1s are appropriately prescribed and those taking them supported clinically. When a member first engages with Noom, they'll complete a personalized assessment determining whether they're best served by (a) Noom Weight, a digital psychology-based weight management program, (b) Noom Diabetes Prevention Program, a tailored digital solution for those who show risk of diabetes - awarded full plus recognition by the CDC, or (c) Noom Med powered by Accolade, where Accolade physicians provide evidence-based obesity care that augments Noom's digital support.

Non-GLP-1 anti-obesity medications are expected to be the initial course of action for nearly half of all participants.
