BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Form Health, the national leader in science-based obesity and cardiometabolic care, is proud to have been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 720 honorees across 59 sectors and regions. The full list of healthcare honorees is available here.
“Obesity and cardiometabolic conditions represent some of the most urgent and costly health challenges facing employers and the entire healthcare system,” said Evan Richardson, founder and CEO of Form Health. “At Form, we’ve built a model for treating patients that combines physician-led care with responsible, severity-aware prescribing of medications, grounded in clinical rigor and delivering measurable ROI. The result is better outcomes for patients and a more sustainable way for employers to expand access to care, while keeping costs predictable. We’re honored to be recognized by Fast Company as one of the world’s most innovative companies. This recognition reflects the tireless work of our team to transform how obesity and cardiometabolic care are delivered to patients, every day.”
Form Health has pioneered an approach to obesity and cardiometabolic care that helps employers navigate the rapid rise of GLP-1 medications, while expanding access responsibly and keeping costs predictable.
Rather than treating these breakthrough medications as a standalone solution, Form integrates them into comprehensive physician-led care that combines nutrition, physical activity, behavioral support and medication, where appropriate. Through severity-aware prescribing protocols and structured care pathways, Form ensures that patients with the greatest clinical need can access medications as part of personalized medical care, while also providing access to effective, lower-cost therapies and intensive lifestyle interventions. This approach improves real-world outcomes while giving employers a more predictable and cost-effective way to expand access to evidence-based treatment.
Building on this model, Form recently expanded its offering to include a comprehensive diabetes program, creating a single integrated solution for cardiometabolic care. The program unifies obesity and diabetes treatment under a single physician-led cardiometabolic framework for employers, replacing fragmented point solutions with continuous medical care designed to improve outcomes and reduce long-term costs. Form is also working with leading pharmaceutical innovators to create new pathways for responsible access to obesity medications, including joining Eli Lilly’s Employer Connect platform and Novo Nordisk’s NovoCare® platform.
Together, these innovations are helping employers move beyond fragmented wellness programs and toward a clinically rigorous model for managing obesity and related chronic diseases that improves health outcomes while delivering measurable ROI.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”
The full list of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies honorees can now be found at fastcompany.com. It will also be available on newsstands beginning March 31, 2026.
Fast Company will host the Most Innovative Companies Summit and Gala for honorees on May 19 in New York City. The summit features a day of inspiring content, followed by a creative black-tie gala including networking, a seated dinner, and an honoree presentation.
