Virta Health looks to reverse, not treat, Type II diabetes

Virta Health, founded by physicians and scientists from Stanford, MIT and Harvard, launched today with the goal to reverse Type II diabetes using its technology platform to enable personalized remote care. The company provides physician supervision, health coaches, an app and biomarker tracking tools, as well as a personalized nutrition plan for its patients in the hopes of reversing Type II diabetes.

The company’s launch comes after a peer-reviewed study showed that Virta successfully reversed Type II diabetes in half of its clinical trial patients. The company was also able to eliminate or reduce insulin use in 87% of patients in 10 weeks, according to Virta.
