Overview

Blue Mesa Health offers a year-long, CDC-based digital diabetes prevention program that pairs dedicated health coaches with wireless scales and FitBit devices to drive behavior change. The company partners with doctors and risk-bearers (self-insured employers, health plans, ACOs, and hospital systems) and operates on a pay-for-performance model where it is paid when participants engage and lose weight. Blue Mesa runs three tailored programs—Transform (mobile cohort-based), Transformemos (Spanish-language), and Transform-By-Mail (low-tech phone/mail delivery)—to reach users across languages and technology levels. The team reports strong outcomes: 78% of participants reach 5.2% body weight loss at six months. In the near term they expect to help over 2,500 people reduce diabetes risk and plan to expand the program to 5,000 more participants and to additional countries. The company is fundraising to support that growth and anticipates pursuing a Series A within the year.
