According to estimates from the United Nations, 500 million people worldwide receive a diabetes diagnosis every five seconds, and by 2030, there will be an estimated 643 million cases. Ed Deng noticed how time-consuming and error-prone it was for family members to record their blood sugar levels on a regular basis in order to effectively manage diabetes, particularly while interacting with carers or healthcare institutions. Co-founding Health2Sync in 2013, he started creating digital healthcare solutions. Patients can record their daily health data with the Health2Sync app by integrating it with various devices and measurements, such as blood pressure, weight scales, wireless insulin pens, and blood sugar monitors. Healthcare providers may easily and reliably examine this data on the Patient Management Platform, which serves as a foundation for appropriate medicine prescriptions and food recommendations. Worldwide, there are over 1.2 million registered users of the Health2Sync app. Health2Sync has partnered with global leaders in diabetes treatment, including Abbott, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, and AstraZeneca. The company's global reach encompasses more than 600 healthcare facilities and associated institutions.
