Fit4D Is Bringing a New Level of Personalization to Diabetes Management
|
|
|
Fit4D, founded by Health Transformer David Weingard in 2006, is on a bold mission: to improve the lives of the 30 million Americans in the U.S. – and half a billion people around the world – who suffer from diabetes. They are doing this by focusing on engaging the patients who typically fall through the cracks. By pairing their software platform with a network of certified diabetes educators, Fit4D is getting patients back into care, while showing an enviable ROI to health plans and the pharma industry.
