Noom Introduces At-Home Biomarker Test Kit to Enhance Metabolic and Cardiovascular Health Monitoring
Noom, a leader in digital health and behavior change, has launched a $125 at-home Biomarkers Test Kit for its U.S. members. This kit is designed to provide comprehensive metabolic and cardiovascular tracking by utilizing the Tasso+ device for painless blood collection. It measures 17 clinically significant biomarkers, including HbA1c, ApoB, triglycerides, hs-CRP, and Lp(a). The initiative aims to uncover hidden health risks in individuals who are otherwise considered healthy based on traditional metrics like BMI. Early data from Noom's Proactive Health program indicates that a significant portion of these individuals have elevated LDL-C and suboptimal HbA1c levels, highlighting the need for more nuanced health monitoring.
