Founder Speaks-
With respect to diabetes management, there seems to be an increase in adoption of resuming digitally and Fitterfly has catered to such a need. More and more patients will start using lifestyle therapy driven digitally for better outcomes. Also, pharmaceutical industry is leading the digital bandwagon in the west and similar story will play out here. Doctors are also adopting digital tools to improve patient compliance and adherence and DTx checks those boxes too. Lastly, payors such as insurers and corporates are also looking at DTx a better fit when it comes to improving outcomes. Outcome improvement automatically leads to short term and long term savings as well as improved health and productivity. We believe the diabetes landscape is going to change forever in the next 4-5 years with digital therapy becoming the first port of call.
