Noom Monitor for Binge Eating

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Binge Eating Disorder

In brief

The purpose of the proposed Phase II STTR study is to test the primary efficacy of a novel mobile app, 'Noom Monitor,' in a large population of binge eaters in the Kaiser Permanente health care system relative to a well-established treatment as usual (TAU) control condition. Noom Monitor facilitates the delivery of CBT-GSH by utilizing a patient interface that increases adherence and provides between-session reminders of CBT-GSH principles. In addition, the Noom Monitor includes a therapist interface with weekly feedback to the provider about patient progress. This application has several primary objectives, including: (1) testing the real-world effectiveness of the Noom Monitor in a clinical setting, and (2) establishing a database of training materials for Noom Monitor. The knowledge gained from the current study will contribute to our understanding of the role of new emerging mobile technologies in augmenting existing treatments.
