What we aim to solve
For people with a chronic disease, self-management is key to a good quality of life. Bit most chronic diseases – including diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and kidney failure – are complex and self-management is challenging to learn. and dia. Type 2, in particular, is both epidemic and undertreated—but has all of the same devastating long-term complications as type 1, from blindness and amputation to kidney failure, strokes, and heart disease. Effective self-management is essential: Kaiser Family Foundation research has found that 40% of important outcomes in chronic disease are due to individual behavior.
