What You Should Know:

–       Today, Twin Health announced it is extending its whole body digital twin AI platform, proven to help members achieve remission of type 2 diabetes and eliminate medications, to address the challenge of obesity and weight loss.

–       Twin’s Healthy Weight solution combines digital twin AI and compassionate clinical care to help members achieve a healthy weight that they can sustain without medication. The program, offered through employers and health plans, is funded by savings from reduced reliance on GLP-1s and other costly health interventions.

Employers Adopt Twin’s AI-Powered Healthy Weight Solution for Sustainable Health and Cost Savings

Twin’s Healthy Weight solution is being adopted by innovative employers such as Applegreen, Bayview, and Dayforce. This program provides significant value to employers and health plans struggling with the high costs of medications. Healthy Weight is part of a clinically appropriate, financially sustainable, and unique benefits strategy. It stands out as the only digital health solution that uses a digital twin AI model of each individual’s metabolism to guide them towards a healthy weight. This approach enables people to achieve sustained medication elimination when it is clinically appropriate.

Twin’s Healthy Weight program is uniquely beneficial for employees and health plan members. It helps individuals gain a deeper understanding of their metabolism and enjoy the satisfaction of achieving small, meaningful goals throughout the day. Participants experience increased muscle strength, enhanced energy, and improved blood glucose levels. The digital twin AI, along with the clinical team, provides precise steps for medication elimination, avoiding rebound weight gain after stopping drugs like GLP-1, and ensuring continued healthy weight loss. The app also offers encouraging insights, such as informing a member they are 14 days away from eliminating a specific medication.

In recent decades, many digital health solutions were developed to manage metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes. However, these solutions often fail to engage members or deliver sustained outcomes and savings. They typically offer a generic approach, like one-size-fits-all keto diets or caloric restriction, which can lead to low engagement and adherence over time. This creates a frustrating experience for users. Twin Health, on the other hand, was founded with a different perspective, focusing on personalization and engagement.

Twin Health’s Whole Body Digital Twin platform represents a new era in digital health. It is built on advanced digital twin AI computing models, creating a dynamic representation of each member’s metabolism and preferences from thousands of real-time data points collected daily. The digital twin AI provides personalized, actionable prompts via a smartphone app, making them easy to follow and tailored to each member. Supported by a licensed clinical care team, Twin Health helps members heal from health challenges through personalized guidance in nutrition, sleep, activity, and stress management, rather than merely managing these conditions.

“Losing weight is hard. The introduction of GLP-1s has created hope, but they are a tool,” said Lisa Shah, chief medical officer of Twin Health. “While these medications will have a role, they aren’t a silver bullet. They’re unaffordable with low adherence and subsequent rebound weight gain. Our Healthy Weight approach focuses on sustainable weight loss built on small changes that feel doable because they flow from a person’s biology, habits, and preferences.”
