To reverse diabetes and obesity in one billion people.
Our take
Much of the care for type 2 diabetes has been based on control and prevention, rather than a direct reversal of the issue. Virta Health is changing that, providing patients with personalized treatment plans, virtual monitoring and patient care.
Instead of depending upon medication, which often needs to be increased over time, the company is tackling the problem at its root and taking a fundamentally different approach that is better for the patient, and more economical for insurers. Among enrolled patients in its clinical trial at one year, 60% achieved diabetes reversal.
While platforms like Vida Health also serve similar markets, the large number of prediabetic (88M) and diabetic (30M) Americans presents a significant opportunity for growth. Along with its significant funding round in 2021 fueling its efforts to expand the reach of its telehealth-powered diabetes reversal treatment. Positioning the company for widespread adoption and continued success in addressing this critical healthcare challenge.
