Diabetes patients make decisions about their health almost every hour, e.g. through their diet or medication. In addition, patients need to come in for examination monthly to allow a healthcare professional to monitor their chronic disease. As a result, people with diabetes need an accessible, efficient way to self-monitor their health condition. Virta Health designed a digital platform that allows for diabetes patients to be treated with therapy, coaching and remote monitoring. Patients enter their glucose values into the app and can get in touch with a physician digitally. As such, the platform contributes to the patients’ self-reliance. The therapy aims to regulate blood sugar without the use of medication. The platform even claims the ability to reverse diabetes entirely.
