Keen to lose weight while you’re stuck indoors? Using a personalized one-to-one coaching plan from Noom is a great way to achieve that and right now, the service is offering a two-week free trial so you can see exactly how well it works for you with no financial commitment.

Noom aims to help you lose weight effectively but responsibly so that you end up healthier and fitter by the end of the plan, and by the time it’s safe to head outside again.

Noom works by encouraging new healthy habits, rather than simply getting you to lose weight rapidly through temporary changes. It’s well known that diets are not effective in helping you sustain long-term improvements to your life so Noom skips that and focused on lifestyle changes that mean you maintain a healthier and happier life for a long time to come. The service has been designed by behavioral psychologists, nutritionists, and personal trainers so that you end up with a plan that works for you and ensures you’re satisfied, as well as living a healthy lifestyle.

It works by generating a personalized calorie breakdown for your diet every day. It’s based on how you spend your day, before tracking the food you consume. That way, if you have a more physically active day, Noom adjusts to accommodate that, recognizing that you need more calories that day. It logs exercise, weight, blood pressure and blood sugar every step of the way.

You also don’t have to deal with A.I.-created notifications motivating you. Instead, during business hours, you get one-on-one health coaching from a real human being who’s skilled in personal training and knows exactly what you’re trying to accomplish. It’s ideal for keeping you motivated and keen, because everything is focused on you as an individual, rather than expecting you to slot into a cookie-cutter solution.

Alongside that, Noom also teaches you about the different forms of nutrition so you understand how what you eat affects you and why. It’s great for making you feel empowered and is far more detailed than many other fitness apps.

Noom ordinarily costs $49 per month, which sounds expensive till you consider how much a personal trainer normally costs. With a two-week free trial right now, you’re saving a lot and it’s a great opportunity to see how it works for you. Noom believes that its users can lose an average of 18 pounds in only 16 weeks if you follow the plan faithfully, so it’s a great service to try.

Starfish-inspired patch solves key issues for wearable heart sensors
Heart rate sensor inspired by Starfish.

The domain of wearable devices has grown by leaps and bounds, not just in terms of mass adoption, but also owing to some astounding innovations. Wearable heart rate sensors can now measure everything from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to ECG in form factors ranging from a watch to finger rings.

These sensors, however, come with an inherent set of problems. Motion artifacts arising from movement or vigorous activity alter the blood flow and affect their accuracy. Optical heart rate sensors (photoplethysmography or PPG tech) also struggle with darker skin tones, tattoos, or even body placement.

You Asked: What’s the most impressive thing you saw at CES?
You Asked CES Editors Cut

On today’s special edition of You Asked, we tracked down each of our editors and put them on the spot to find out what they thought was the most impressive thing they saw at CES 2025 in Early January. Let’s find out what they had to say.
Panasonic Z95B

There’s been some really cool TV tech at CES, but the thing I’m most excited about is the new Panasonic Z95B. Instead of the regular OLED display structure we’ve seen in recent years with MLA technology, this uses a four-layer panel structure. It features individual red, green, and blue layers (two of the latter) for the emissive light.
