I am proud to be part of the team that is expanding access to Welldoc’s transformative approach for improving, not only the health of an individual, but a population,” said Linda Piazza.
Recently, Welldoc released data showing that engaged BlueStar users with type 2 diabetes experience clinically significant reductions in A1C & blood glucose, reductions in ER visits, reductions in costs, strong engagement and increases in self-care behaviors.
