The MedTech Coalition for Metabolic Health (MCMH) is a diverse group of organizations who have come together to change how the nation perceives and approaches our country’s challenges to metabolic health, including diabetes and obesity. MCMH intends to effect change by educating and advocating for public policies and increased funding for obesity education, research, treatment, and care.
The vision of the coalition is to influence change in the US health care system, and to urge policymakers to recognize that metabolic diseases like obesity are complex and chronic and deserve to be treated seriously in the same fashion as other chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease or cancer. People affected by obesity require access to the same medically necessary and covered treatment avenues afforded to all others who suffer from chronic disease.
The founding members of MCMH include:
seca

LEVL
LEVL has created a new paradigm in nutrition management and health through a non-invasive measurement of ketones using breath. The LEVL device enables clinicians to identify how a prescribed diet and exercise plan impacts their patient’s fat metabolism in real-time, enhances patient care by giving clinicians the ability to remotely monitor and keeps patients motivated with daily feedback. All it takes is a simple breath. For more information visit their website (www.levlnow.com)
