Vida Health's personalization approach to cardiometabolic care takes into account individual needs and goals, with a focus on goal-directed therapy and impactful interventions. Vida Health's human-led care approach, which combines credentialed providers and technology, has resulted in significant reductions in hemoglobin A1C, sustainable weight loss, reductions in pre-diabetes, improvements in high blood pressure, and reductions in depression and anxiety.
