What is the Virta application?

The Virta application is a digital health tool designed to help treat health problems, specifically diabetes, using technology. It connects diabetic patients with a health coach, provides guidance on a ketogenic diet, and fosters a community of patients following the same diet. This approach has shown success in reversing type 2 diabetes in over half of users. While the application is not yet available in Canada, it may be beneficial for individuals to work with a dietitian or nutritionist to implement similar strategies.
