Company Description

Self-care AI med-tech platform and glucometer that enables people to manage their own diabetes.Pops is focused on improving the current healthcare model. With diabetes as one of our most expensive chronic conditions in the world, we have not significantly changed how we manage diabetes in the last twenty-five years. Even the newest digital health companies continue to treat people with diabetes as patients to manage remotely with their live coaches. Pops has no live coaches and no traditional test kits. We don't see people as patients we need to manage.
