The subscription-based model aims to help people with diabetes monitor and manage their condition effectively
Portea Medical recently launched InControl, a one-of-its-kind complete diabetes care programme for patients with Type II diabetes. The Portea InControl programme puts in place a comprehensive diabetes care plan, provides necessary equipment for monitoring and offers one-on-one health coaching. With an annual subscription, a patient will get a free glucometer, unlimited supply of test strips, and above all, the right health coaching through a certified counsellor for a period of one year.
Speaking about this, Meena Ganesh, Co-Founder and CEO, Portea, said, “Portea InControl programme will bring together diabetologists and nutrition counsellors to a tech platform where they can remotely monitor patients’ conditions and work with patients to bring about positive health outcomes. We are targeting to help at least 50,000 patients in the first year of launch.”
By combining two important parameters — regular monitoring and health coaching – the programme aims to help people in complying with their treatment regimen and manage their condition better. It will also help in detecting early signs of co-morbid conditions.
