About
Livongo Health represents a noteworthy instance in the intersection of healthcare and technology, aiming to modernize the management of chronic conditions through data-driven decisions and personalized experiences. Founded in 2014, Livongo quickly became a pioneer in the digital health space, focusing primarily on diabetes management before expanding its suite of services to include hypertension, weight management, and behavioral health.
Livongo’s initial focus was on diabetes management, a response to the growing epidemic of diabetes in the United States and globally. The company introduced a connected glucometer that not only monitored blood glucose levels but also provided real-time, personalized insights and guidance to the user. This innovative approach to chronic disease management leveraged advanced data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide a more comprehensive and proactive healthcare experience.
