Low Carb Program is a multi-award-winning, evidence-based structured education and behaviour change self-management platform. The platform supports users living with metabolic health conditions such as obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to achieve their selected health goals - including weight loss, improvements in mental health, reduction in medications, and reversal of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
User experience (education, resources, support) is tailored to goal, disease profile, ethnicity, age, gender, and location and provides remote-monitoring capabilities for effective population health management.
