Personalized obesity care
at a population scale
At Obthera, we aim to reduce healthcare costs and improve employee health with a cost-effective weight-loss system, software to enable healthcare providers to better serve their patients, and other products that provide people with obesity custom solutions that address their specific needs. We are unique because we are physicians, nutritionists, and scientists who have a professional and ethical responsibility to ensure our programs work. We are supervised by a team of multidisciplinary software developers, scientists, and clinicians. Through scalable, AI-powered obesity treatment systems, Obthera provides direct-to-consumer online weight loss to clients around the world.
The Problem for Employers
Obesity costs US employers $73 billion annually. Employers try to help their employees reduce weight, but despite their best efforts, the costs remain.
For employers to see cost savings, enough individuals need to lose enough weight. For an individual, losing 5% of bodyweight (e.g., “enough weight”) can improve health. A clinical weight-loss program can provide this level of weight loss, but it is not cost-effective to scale so it cannot help enough individuals to be cost-effective for employers to offer. On the other hand, workplace wellness programs are cost-effective to scale, but typically do not help individuals reduce enough weight to make a difference in health.
The Solution for Everyone
Obthera’s weight-loss program produces clinical-grade weight loss yet is cost-effective enough to scale for workplace wellness. Obthera is an automated weight loss system, delivered via web app, that simplifies self-directed weight-loss for employees. It was built by experts to focus on what really matters to streamline the weight-loss process, and it does the job without the price tag of clinical expertise or excessive resources.
Obthera provides weight-loss recipes that match your tastes, habits, and lifestyle so you can follow your usual eating habits – and still lose weight!
