Diabetic Patient Farhaneh Ahmadi Develops eddii - a gamified app for diabetes management and education

eddii is a digital health platform designed to make managing diabetes easier, more interactive, and more accessible. Originally developed for children and later expanded to adults, the app integrates with Dexcom continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to provide real-time tracking, interactive games, educational quizzes, and personalized health insights. Instead of relying solely on standard tracking tools, eddii turns diabetes management into an engaging experience—users earn rewards for healthy behaviors, customize their app interface, and interact with an AI-powered chatbot for motivation and support.

Beyond gamification, eddii provides direct access to medical care through eddii-Care, a virtual endocrinology service that connects users with specialists within 48 hours—addressing long wait times for in-person appointments. The platform also allows users to manage prescriptions, receive personalized health reports, and set up low-glucose alert calls for added safety. Parents of children with T1D can monitor real-time glucose data and customize rewards for healthy habits.

eddii is free to download and offers basic features at no cost, while access to virtual medical care operates on a subscription model, with coverage options depending on insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. The platform is continuously expanding to support additional CGMs and insulin pumps, ensuring more people with diabetes can benefit from its features. Developed by someone who personally understands the condition, eddii transforms diabetes care into an interactive and supportive experience, making daily management more effective and less burdensome.
