Combines CGM data specifically with GLP-1 dose-titration support and nationwide medication home delivery — a tighter medication+device integration than most CGM-only competitors.
Pulls in sleep, HRV, recovery, and strain data from Oura Ring/WHOOP alongside glucose readings, so the AI coaching accounts for recovery state, not just food and glucose.
Predicts a meal's blood-sugar impact before you eat it, rather than only reporting the response after the fact, and extends the same engine into clinician-facing tools.
