Following introduction of pediatric care in 37 states, eddii is expanding its virtual care to adults, starting in the states of California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
On November 25th, we launched eddii-Care for Adults, a groundbreaking virtual diabetes care platform. This first-of-its-kind service for adults living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes is has already launched in 8 states - California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington - with plans to expand the service to additional states in the coming months.
eddii users can now enroll in eddii-care as patients directly through the app, granting them access to a comprehensive suite of diabetes care services at their fingertips.
With eddii-Care, enrolled patients can:
- Book appointments with licensed endocrinologists (or diabetes doctors)
- Speak directly with their healthcare providers through the app
- Access their clinical notes and medical records
- Refill their prescriptions with just a tap
"We are thrilled to introduce eddii-Care for Adults, providing transformative diabetes care to millions of people in the US," said Farhaneh Ahmadi, PhD, founder and CEO of eddii. "Access to specialty diabetes care remains a challenge across many parts of the United states; by providing convenient, virtual access to specialized diabetes care, we aim to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.”
Improving Accessibility to Diabetes Care for All
Access to complete diabetes care is at the heart of eddii’s mission, and the launch of eddii-Care for adults focuses on improving access for adults living with diabetes by connecting them to a licensed endocrinologist directly through their app.
“We believe that diabetes care should be accessible to anyone who needs it, no matter their age, location, condition, or coverage. Today, diabetes patients can wait up to 6 months to see their endocrinologist (if they have one at all), and they often have to take time off from work or even drive several hours for their appointment. eddii is changing that. With eddii-Care, patients can book an appointment and see a provider in as little as 48 hours from the comfort of their home,” adds Ahmadi.

The launch of eddii-Care follows our work to revolutionize diabetes management through our wildly popular and fun eddii app. Available nationwide, the eddii app seamlessly connects to a user’s Dexcom CGMs and gamifies the experience of managing diabetes through fun games, interactive quizzes, AI-driven chat, health challenges, and more.
