About Loome

Loome is a South African digital health service offering a fully online, clinician-led weight-loss programme for adults. Users complete a free eligibility check reviewed by a clinician, then build a plan on a video call with a doctor or dietitian. Where appropriate, the programme includes GLP-1 medication, delivered discreetly from a licensed South African pharmacy, along with a weaning protocol.

The Loome app keeps the meal plan, habits and care team in one place, with dietitian check-ins, messaging and a community for ongoing support. Practitioners are HPCSA registered and the service covers all of South Africa. The company is based in Johannesburg and LinkedIn lists its founding year as 2026.
