Lilli Health, has launched the Lilli App—the first comprehensive platform using insulin management to reverse symptoms.

Backed by decades of research, the app provides at-home insulin testing, personalized meal plans, and real-time tracking to empower women with PCOS.

Key Features of the Lilli App:

1 - At-Home Insulin Testing – Track metabolic health with Lilli’s testing kits (rarely done in clinics).

2 - Personalized Meal Plans – Science-backed, insulin-friendly recipes tailored for PCOS.

3 - Symptom & Cycle Tracking – Log symptoms, ovulation, and irregular cycles with actionable insights.

4 - Lab Integration – Upload or test key markers (like insulin) and get easy-to-understand analysis.

5 - Expert-Backed Education – Learn how insulin resistance drives PCOS and how to reverse it.

Why It Matters:

1 - 1 in 5 women worldwide has PCOS, often misdiagnosed or given outdated advice.

2 - Insulin resistance is the root cause of PCOS symptoms (weight gain, infertility, acne).

3 - Traditional "eat less, exercise more" advice fails—Lilli’s approach targets insulin directly.

Dr. Ali Chappell, PhD, MS, RD, Lilli Health Founder (and PCOS patient):

"If you’re not lowering insulin, you’re not treating PCOS. Lilli gives women the tools to finally take control."

Dr. Steven Fleischman, MD, MBA, (Yale OB/GYN):

"Early insulin management can prevent long-term complications like obesity and diabetes."

Unlike generic PCOS apps, Lilli combines testing, education, and personalized care—like a dietitian in your pocket.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has become the first hospital in the to introduce continuous infusion therapy for advanced Parkinson’s disease, marking a major milestone in regional neurological care. The breakthrough treatment—administered via a compact, insulin-like pump—delivers steady medication to combat motor fluctuations, offering an alternative to deep brain stimulation (DBS).

A 51-year-old Emirati patient, who struggled with severe symptoms despite oral medication, has shown remarkable improvement post-treatment. "I finally have control over my life again," he shared, highlighting restored stability and quality of life.

Georges-Pascal Haber, CEO, emphasized the therapy’s role in addressing the rising global burden of Parkinson’s, while Shivam Om Mittal, MD noted its ease of use and reduced follow-up needs compared to DBS.

Dr. Georges-Pascal Haber, CEO:

"Our continuous infusion therapy marks a turning point for neurological care in the GCC. As Parkinson's cases rise, we're delivering personalized, cutting-edge solutions that redefine treatment standards and patient outcomes."
