Problem
Low-income and diverse populations experience disproportionately high rates of prediabetes and face barriers such as limited access to preventive care, low health literacy, and lack of culturally relevant resources. These gaps lead to delayed diagnosis and increased Medicaid expenditures on diabetes-related treatment.
Solution
Yumlish delivers a text‑based diabetes prevention program that reaches participants through standard SMS, eliminating the need for app downloads or logins. Daily interactive messages provide evidence‑based nutrition and activity guidance that is adapted to the cultural, budgetary, and lifestyle contexts of each community. The platform integrates with Medicaid/Medicare plans, employers, and community health centers, allowing these partners to enroll members and track progress against HEDIS quality measures. By automating coaching delivery and data collection, Yumlish enables scalable, cost‑effective chronic disease management while encouraging sustained behavior change.
Target Audience
