Diabetes affects millions of Americans; those living in rural areas face unique challenges including transportation and food deserts. Organizations like Stability Health have created virtual care models to reach these patients and improve disease management. Partnering with Stability Health and HealthInfoNet, we conducted case studies of Maine to analyze demand and supply to determine areas that were the best fit for Stability Health’s model. By repeating our methodology in other areas, Stability Health can identify new markets with the most opportunity.
