I am passionate about translating research into improved health outcomes. Over 30 million Americans live with type 2 diabetes—88 million with prediabetes. These adults are often affected by the complications associated with co-existing conditions, such as hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia, stroke, blindness, and kidney disease. And the total economic cost of diagnosed diabetes rose 41% from 2007 to 2012, reaching an estimated $245 billion. At Virta Health, our aim is to explore how this novel care model can impact health and economic outcomes in people living with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and other chronic conditions - and to learn how to continuously improve patient health outcomes.
