"While there have been significant advancements in diabetes treatment that make it easier to control, lifestyle-choice tracking has been slow in many regards, focusing primarily on presenting data rather than engaging the user and teaching them how to take charge of their health," said eddii Founder and CEO Farhaneh Ahmadi.

"The team of scientists, artists and engineers at eddii created a solution that allows people to take charge of their relationship with chronic illness," Ahmadi said.
