About

Pops offers a consumer-centric solution for self-management of diabetes. Pops is centered around a personalized app-based AI virtual coach that is paired with an easy to use, discreet, smart-glucose meter. This provides people a better diabetes management alternative to support successful measuring and monitoring of blood sugar while living an active life. Our virtual coach, Mina, engages with our own Rebel glucose meter, simplifying the user’s ability to better manage and direct their health and clinical care needs, increasing accountability toward true behavior change. Pops supports the whole person with sensitivity, meaningful education, and guidance. Pops broadens connectivity and data sharing with loved ones and providers. With streamlined connectivity, trend reports, and feedback from Mina interactions, Pops consumes fewer Provider resources while enhancing clinical engagement and follow up care. Delivering improved outcomes and supporting healthy lifestyles, we provide an innovative cost-saving solution for employees and their dependents, health plan members, and the healthcare ecosystem.
