How do I set Goals?

Goals help you build healthy habits one small step at a time. In the Omada app, you can set short-term goals, track your progress from your Home page, and reflect on how each goal went.

Please note: Goals are available only in the Omada app, so you'll need to use the app on your phone or tablet to set and manage them.

What are Goals?

Goals are short-term, measurable steps that help you make progress in your Omada program. With Goals, you can:

• Work on more than one goal at a time.
• Track your progress right from your Home page.
• Work on a goal for up to two weeks.
• Set and change goal reminders at any time.
• Try a goal again, or adjust it to be easier or more challenging.
• Reflect on how your goal went when you close or finish it.
