WeightWatchers recently filed for bankruptcy. Part of the reason is because it couldn't adapt fast enough to a rapidly changing weight-loss environment spurred by the rising popularity of GLP-1s, experts said.
At the ViVE conference in LA, Smarter Technologies Chief Medical Officer Ruben Amarasingham MD talked with Katie Adams about the company's larger goals for AI: to improve the accuracy of data and make healthcare less burdensome for physicians and clinicians.
WeightWatchers' new GLP-1 program offers daily nutritional and activity targets, recommended foods, recipes, food and activity tracking, a digital community, virtual workshops and access to coaches 24/7.
WeightWatchers will acquire Sequence, a platform that allows patients to have virtual appointments with a clinician, gives access to a dietitian and fitness coaching and provides prescription medications, including Ozempic and Wegovy. The deal is anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2023, and WeightWatchers will pay the net purchase price of $106 million.
