Company mission
To revolutionize healthcare by proving chronic diabetes is reversible in hundreds of millions of 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 takes 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.
Although other similar platforms such as Vida Health exist, with more than 88 million prediabetic Americans and 30 million diabetic Americans, there's a large market to share. Virta's $133 million funding round in 2021 has accelerated its efforts to drive widespread adoption of its telehealth-powered diabetes reversal treatment.
