In this meetup, our guest will be Matthew Fenech from Una Health. I can hardly believe that he managed to carve some time out of his schedule to join us, because many exciting things are happening at his company Una Health right now!

Matt co-founded Una Health and is its Chief Medical Officer. The company's product, an app for glucose control for diabetics, recently gained approval as a DiGA in Germany which means that public health insurance reimburses it.

And if that already isn't cool enough, I think the product of Una Health makes it even more exciting. They use data from continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to track the blood sugar (glucose) values of their patients, and then give recommendations regarding nutrition and exercise.

Matt will give us a brief introduction on Una Health. After that, we'll move on to the Q&A format which was really popular last time, so feel free to prepare your questions for Matt! If you're considering founding a Healthcare Startup, this is your chance! :)

Matthew “Matt” Fenech is a doctor by training. Before co-founding Una Health in 2021, Matt worked at a think tank called Future Advocacy and as Medical Safety Lead at Ada Health. He also worked as a doctor in the NHS and did his PhD in Molecular Biology.
