Noom's updated terms make clearer that the platform provides behavioral support, not medical treatment, and that coaching and food data features may not be fully accurate. This clarification is important for users who might view Noom as a substitute for medical advice or treatment.

Review the updated terms carefully, especially if you rely on Noom for health management or have shared sensitive health information on the platform.
