Nonprofit telehealth coaches for underserved Americans on Medicaid

We're building the nation's largest digital diabetes platform for underserved Americans. There are 80 million Americans on Medicaid and 30% or more have chronic disease. Less than 1% of patients with diabetes receive needed training. We provide a SMS-based telehealth platform to people with chronic disease on Medicaid. Our proven Healthy at Home program uses 2-way SMS interactions, weekly diabetes coaching visits, and evidence-based health education. Our vision is to reach millions of Americans that lack at-home support for chronic disease. We're billing health insurance $186 for telehealth visits and have 2 contracts underway. With your support, we can be a fully sustainable nonprofit by 2023.

I live in SF, grew up in Pennsylvania, and spent 3 years in Kenya and Myanmar working in global health. Favorite food: anything creole Most off-brand thing: I love weight lifting What we can talk about for hours: HRV and biohacking...
