What Livongo does
Livongo by Teladoc Health is a chronic condition management platform that delivers personalized care programs for diabetes, hypertension, weight management, and diabetes prevention. Its integrated offering combines connected health-monitoring hardware (cellular-enabled blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, and scales), a mobile application, real-time data analytics, certified health coaching with Spanish-language support, 24/7 monitoring with immediate outreach for dangerous health events, and physician and mental health specialist access. The platform is built on clinical standards of care from the American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, and CDC, and includes an add-on GLP-1 prescribing module for weight management members.
The company operates a B2B2C distribution model: programs are provided at no cost to eligible members but funded by employers, health plans, or healthcare providers who contract on per-member-per-month or per-eligible-life subscription terms. Livongo sells to enterprise benefit decision-makers and cross-sells through Teladoc Health's integrated virtual care platform, which serves over 92 million members across 175 countries following the 2020 acquisition. Since 2020, Livongo has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary brand of Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), with its chronic condition programs increasingly bundled with Teladoc's primary care and mental health services.
Livongo was founded in 2014, raised approximately $230 million in venture funding from General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, Kinnevik, Silver Lake, Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, Humana, and Sapphire Ventures among others, and reached a reported $1.87 billion market capitalization as a public company before being acquired by Teladoc Health for $18.5 billion. The company reports it has helped more than 730,000 patients, with documented outcomes including a 48% reduction in diabetes incidence over three years, 15mmHg average systolic blood pressure reduction, and 46% of weight management patients losing 5% or more of starting weight.

It is an emerging player overlapping with Livongo's chronic care roadmap, with potential for significant scale given Alphabet backing.
