Tidepool for telemedicine

We at Tidepool recognize that many people with diabetes and their caregivers are being shifted from in-person visits to virtual appointments.

“During this time when our lives have been disrupted by a global pandemic, I keep coming back to our capacity to help one another as a diabetes community. I want to share what Tidepool is doing to help with great software and resources to connect healthcare”, Howard Look, Tidepool CEO.
