Virta Health focuses on reversing type 2 diabetes through a combination of personalized nutrition, continuous remote care, and behavioral science. Their treatment is designed for individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, healthcare providers, and enterprise partners like employers and health plans. Unlike many healthcare services that simply manage diabetes, Virta Health aims to achieve actual reversal of the condition. They operate on a performance-based business model, meaning they only receive payment from enterprise partners if they successfully help patients improve their health outcomes. This model aligns their financial success with patient success, encouraging them to deliver effective treatment. Virta Health's goal is to reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people, making them distinct in the healthcare market by focusing on long-term health improvements rather than short-term management.

What believers are saying
