therapeutics, and WellDyneRx, a full-service, independent pharmacy

treat type-2 diabetes. Insulia provides patients with automated
basal insulin dose recommendations and personalized coaching
messages while enabling the health care team to remotely monitor
progress.

on members successfully titrating their insulin doses and achieving
blood glucose goals in a value-based reimbursement model, which is
the primary model being leveraged by Voluntis in the market today.
This agreement provides strong evidence of WellDyneRx’s commitment
to delivering value for their clients and members as well as

About Insulia®
Insulia® provides automated basal insulin dose recommendations
and coaching messages for people with type 2 diabetes while
enabling the health care team to remotely monitor progress. A
healthcare practitioner prescribes Insulia using their dedicated
web portal and sets up the treatment plan rules that will adjust
basal insulin dosing based on the person’s specific needs. The user
then receives an activation code to get started with their
personalized app. Once downloaded, the app uses blood glucose
readings and any hypo symptoms to recommend doses in real-time.
These are constantly updated using clinical algorithms built into
the application. Data is automatically shared with the health care
team, who can remotely monitor the patient’s progress toward their
goal thanks to tailored notifications. This enables providers to
deliver tailored telemedicine services, a practice increasingly
supported by payers worldwide. Insulia is available for people
using any brand of basal insulin including Lantus®, Levemir®,
Toujeo®, Tresiba® (U-100) and Basaglar®.
