The Type2 Companion is a mobile/web application created by pharmacist George Hatziantoniou to help people with Type 2 Diabetes better manage their condition. It allows patients to securely share health information with providers in real time to improve outcomes. For providers, it gives access to up-to-date patient data anywhere. By enhancing the doctor-patient relationship through this interactive tool, it aims to reduce diabetic complications and create a world free of related diseases.

1. About Type2 Companion
With all the advances in health care today, why are people with Type 2
Diabetes suffering more and more with co-morbidities—kidney failure,
blindness, heart complications, extremity amputations—of this disease?
Why is the cost of managing Type 2 Diabetes increasing rapidly, and—even
more worrisome—exponentially? How can those with Type 2 Diabetes
benefit from today's mobile medical innovation to better their quality of
life by reducing the threat of serious chronic diseases?
George Hatziantoniou, a Seattle-based pharmacist with a quarter century
of clinical and retail pharmacy experience, set out to find the answers.

2. About Type2 Companion
What George realized after spending more than two decades working first-hand
with patients, their doctors and nurses, and also certified diabetes educators, is
that the Type 2 Diabetes community needs a way to share critical medical
information with their healthcare providers accurately and securely and in real
time, not more expensive, drugs with even greater side effects.
In early 2012, George founded the Type2 Companion, a mobile/ Web application
merging mobile innovation and medicine to improve patient outcomes. The Type2
Companion is a simple and interactive app that allows patients to share
information safely and securely with their healthcare providers. For health care
practitioners the Type2 Companion enables them to quickly access up to the
minute patient information at the office or anywhere around the world.

relationship the Type2 Companion can help assist with
