Enara Health

Enara Health embarked on its journey in 2014, born from a vision to revolutionize obesity care. Dr. Rami Bailony, an internal medicine physician, witnessed firsthand the shortcomings in how the healthcare system addressed obesity and the inadvertent shame it often inflicted on patients. This experience ignited a passion to create an alternative – a model rooted in evidence-based science and free from stigma. The initial years, from 2014 to roughly 2018, were dedicated to meticulously iterating and validating the clinical product. The core objective was to develop a life-altering program capable of producing profound and lasting clinical results, aiming to match the efficacy of bariatric surgery without the invasive procedures. By the fourth year, the data was compelling, showcasing an average weight loss of over 15% sustained beyond 18 months – a remarkable achievement that signaled the program's readiness for broader impact.

The year 2020 marked a pivotal moment in Enara Health's evolution. Recognizing the profound potential of their clinically proven approach, Dr. Bailony teamed up with Dr. Lydia Alexander, a prominent figure in obesity medicine and then VP of the Obesity Medicine Association, and Felipe Baytelman, an engineer with a background at ClassPass. This collaboration was aimed at building a robust platform and network to scale their innovative obesity treatment. The mission became clear: to develop the first-ever platform designed to make comprehensive, personalized, and insurance-covered obesity treatment accessible. Enara Health's model focuses on a holistic, data-driven approach, integrating personalized nutrition, exercise regimens, medication management (including GLP-1s when appropriate), and crucial behavioral and mental health support. They partner with healthcare systems and clinics, empowering them to offer top-tier obesity care and extend their reach, particularly to underserved communities disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic. This collaborative strategy, combined with a commitment to leveraging technology like AI for optimizing care and operations, defines Enara Health's ongoing quest to transform the landscape of weight management and improve long-term health outcomes for millions.
