Breaking the Cycle: How Habitual is Rethinking Weight Loss & Type 2 Diabetes

In this episode of Tech Talks, Napala Pratini, CEO of Habitual, breaks down why obesity is one of the biggest global health crises and how her company is tackling it differently.

Habitual isn't just about weight loss—it’s about changing behaviors to create long-term health improvements. With over one billion people living with obesity and weight-related diseases like type 2 diabetes, Napala explains why fad diets and quick fixes don’t work. Instead, she highlights how technology, behavioral science, and the right medical support can create sustainable, life-changing health outcomes.
