Can design save lives?

by Megan Meagher

Omada Health thinks so. The startup merges social networking, design and digital to create a program for people with prediabetes to reduce their risk of converting to diabetes.

"One in three adults in the U.S. has prediabetes. There’s an enormous amount of evidence that making certain changes can reduce the risk of converting to diabetes; Omada Health is trying to bring this to the web. The 'pill' for diabetes is not a pill, but a program. The question becomes, how do you roll that out to the nation?" -CEO Sean Duffy
