Noom’s app promises a long-term approach to weight loss based on psychology and personalization. And it’s popular. It has 250 million downloads, ads that pop up everywhere from podcasts to the Superbowl, and a valuation of $3.7 billion.
But is being a weight loss app even the right goal? Or is it just the perfect business model?
