In the emergency room at 30 years old, Matt Ethington was diagnosed with Type I diabetes and told he was days, maybe hours away from being in a coma. Upon discharge, he found himself feeling scared, alone and dependent on disconnected medical care to manage a very demanding chronic disease.
Those feelings, combined with his in-depth experience in the IT industry, drove him to find a better way for fragile and chronically ill patients to be connected between visits and more confidently navigate their conditions in close partnership.
What he found was ChronicCareIQ.
