mySugr Brings Integrated Diabetes

Management Solution to Montana

The program consists of mySugr’s comprehensive mobile

patient interface, clinician-enabled coaching, diabetes

supplies, and Care Innovations’ population health

management services.

mySugr and Care Innovations announced today the launch of a program, in

partnership with the Montana Primary Care Association, to offer its

Integrated Diabetes Management Solution to people with diabetes in rural

and frontier Montana. The program combines mySugr’s data-rich mobile

app, personalized patient and clinician coaching, diabetes supplies, and

population health management services through the Care Innovations’

platform.

“This new partnership with a community healthcare association shows the

evolution of mySugr, from an app-based solution to a comprehensive

program that can support people living with diabetes in underserved

areas,” said Frank Westermann, CEO and co-founder of mySugr. “We

welcome this opportunity and look forward to making a meaningful

difference in health outcomes.”

The Montana Primary Care Association (MPCA) is a non-profit association

working to increase access to high-quality, affordable primary health care

on behalf of Montana’s community clinics. It oversees a vast geographic

area that experiences extreme weather conditions. Many patients drive

hours to see their doctor and even further to access hospitals, specialists

and supplies.

“Both Northwest Community Health Center and Bighorn Valley Health

Center are in and serve rural counties,” said Cindy Stergar, CEO of the

Montana Primary Care Association. “That creates all sorts of logistical

challenges, particularly when treating patients with chronic conditions.

There is a clear need for a comprehensive digital diabetes solution to

better connect these health centers with the community so that they can

provide integrated primary care.”

The initial collaboration will focus on two health centers; Bighorn Valley

and Northwest Community Health Center. Along with integrated digital

solutions, patients enrolled in the program will receive supplies – such as

blood glucose strips – and targeted diabetes advice.

“This program is all about adapting healthcare delivery, so we can reach

individuals living with chronic conditions at a time and place that works for

them,” said Randy Swanson, CEO of Care Innovations. “This commitment

to each patient, over time, can drive better health outcomes at a

population level. We’re thrilled to be a part of that, alongside our partners

Roche, mySugr and the Montana Primary Care Association.”
