Virta Health

Unlike a pill or a medical device, digital health products evolve on a weekly basis. So, how do you actually measure long-term cost reductions and ROI? That’s exactly the kind of question Priya Shanmugam, PhD is digging into at #ISPOR2026 this week. She's representing the Virta Health HEOR team and presenting our latest survival analysis on T2D and nutrition therapy (Poster #2048, Tuesday 4-7 PM). If you work in digital health economics, go find her and trade notes!

Benefits leaders are under increasing pressure to deliver more value from benefits offered, especially those focused on weight loss and metabolic health. But an outdated member experience can often get in the way. Join Tammy Bursac from Newell Brands, Ian Chuang, MD, MS from Mercer, and leaders from Virta Health on June 4 for a candid conversation on what it takes to create a high-impact member experience today...and why it’s essential for driving the full ROI of digital health investments. Together they'll cover: ✅ What “engagement” really means today ✅ What high-performing programs do differently ✅ Where AI and human support work best ✅ What true personalization looks like in practice—with or without GLP-1s Register now to save your spot or receive the replay 👇

"I had never seen it get better or be reversed. So I was relatively skeptical." A lot of folks in the healthcare industry feel the exact same way. Before Amit became our President here at Virta, he spent years working in primary care. He was used to seeing patients manage their metabolic disease day in and day out, without ever actually getting better. So, what makes a skeptic change their mind and join the team? For Amit, it was seeing that true reversal was actually possible—and finding a deeply empathetic, driven team to do it with. As he mentions in the video, if you're going to spend time away from your family and your kids, it has to be for work that truly matters. It turns out, hyper-personalized nutrition really can change your life. But you already know that. 😉 #VirtaHealth #HealthcareInnovation

You can't exactly meal prep in a massive kitchen when your office is a semi-truck. But Jerry is proof that you don't need a perfect setup to take your health back. When we started working with him, the goal wasn't perfection—it was just finding small, realistic swaps that actually fit his crazy schedule on the highway. 75 pounds later, he’s feeling like himself again. Now, he's not just surviving the long drives; he's thriving.

Real healthcare isn't just adding years to life, it's removing the chronic inflammatory burden from those years. For the 125 million Americans living with chronic inflammation, the focus is almost always on managing symptoms. But new research from Virta Health is showing something we think is important: when you address type 2 diabetes through nutrition-based care, the impact goes far beyond just blood sugar. In a peer-reviewed study published in Endocrine Research, Virta’s care model improved 19 of 21 inflammatory and immune markers in people with T2D, with results sustained over two years. That matters because inflammation is the "silent driver" of insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and long-term complications. As our CMO Dr. Adam Wolfberg shared: "Metabolic diseases are often treated in isolation... This study shows that when we address the root cause of type 2 diabetes through nutrition, we can achieve broad improvements across many inflammatory pathways." This research is a reminder that the body doesn't work in silos, and our care models shouldn’t either. #VirtaHealth #MetabolicHealth #Type2Diabetes #InsulinResistance #ChronicInflammation #FoodAsMedicine #ScienceBacked

Metabolic health is one of the biggest opportunities to improve outcomes across multiple chronic conditions. Yet for many people, the term can still feel unclear. In this video, Frank D. Dumont breaks down what metabolic health means, how it can impact blood sugar, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, inflammation, and more — and why insulin resistance is often an important part of the conversation. At Virta, we believe improving metabolic health starts with addressing the root cause, with nutrition and clinical support that meet people where they are. What questions would you like Dr. Dumont to answer next? #VirtaHealth #MetabolicHealth #InsulinResistance #FoodAsMedicine

AI can only be useful in healthcare if it helps care teams do more of what humans do best. Nurses and care management teams are being asked to support large member populations, manage endless outreach, and still create meaningful moments of connection. That is a lot to carry. On May 18, Virta Health CMO Dr. Adam Wolfberg will join Courtney Henchon of Ellipsis Health and Amit Khanna of Salesforce for a conversation on empathetic AI, and how voice-based technology can help scale care without losing the human connection that drives better outcomes. They’ll discuss how AI can support high-volume needs like health risk assessments and post-discharge follow-ups, while giving care teams more time to focus on the conversations that need their clinical judgment, compassion, and experience. 📅 May 18 | 2:00 PM EDT 🔗 Register at the link in the comments.
