Livongo is in the unique position of providing assistance to some of the most vulnerable populations, people with chronic conditions, and according to last week’s CDC report, 78 percent of people who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to COVID-19 had at least one pre-existing health condition¹. Livongo’s remote monitoring and 24/7 telehealth capabilities provide a world-class health and care experience that empowers people to stay healthy, at-home, and out of harm’s way.”
