George Hatziantoniou founded Type2 Companion in 2012 to address the increasing costs and health complications of type 2 diabetes. Type2 Companion is a mobile/web application that allows patients to securely share health information with providers in real time to enhance care and patient outcomes, with the goal of reducing diabetic comorbidities and complications.

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.
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.
By merging mobile medical technology and medicine and creating a more interactive doctor/patient relationship
the Type2 Companion can help assist with enhancing patient care and results. In this way, the Type2
Companion is striving to create a world free of diabetic co-morbidities and complications.
