Problem
Patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and related chronic conditions often receive fragmented care that relies on frequent medication adjustments and generic dietary advice, leading to poor long‑term outcomes, especially in underserved communities.
Solution
OwnaHealth delivers a tech‑enabled, virtual care program that targets the root cause of metabolic disease through personalized, low‑carb nutrition plans, continuous health tracking, and daily support from a dedicated medical provider and health coach. The service combines evidence‑based protocols with culturally competent counseling, allowing patients to reduce or eliminate medications while improving blood‑sugar control, weight, and overall wellbeing. All interactions occur via the OwnaHealth app, which provides video visits, secure messaging, and real‑time data monitoring. The model is also offered to health systems to improve quality metrics such as HEDIS and CMS STAR ratings while lowering total cost of care.
Target Audience
Primary customers are adults with type 2 diabetes, obesity, or related metabolic conditions, particularly those in low‑income or underserved areas, as well as health systems seeking to improve chronic‑care outcomes and reduce costs.
