Lark Health is an American digital health company based in Mountain View, California. It provides a 24/7 nursing platform for chronic conditions, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and has a text-messaging type interface. Lark also provides AI nurses for type 2 diabetes care, hypertension care, tobacco cessation, stress management, obesity, and more for 1.5 million patients.[1]
Lark was founded by Julia Hu and Jeff Zira. It first produced a sleep health monitor worn on a person's wrist. It was designed to wake up the individual wearing the device without disturbing anyone else who might be sleeping nearby.[3] The product was soon sold in all Apple stores globally.[4][5]
Lark eventually focused more on artificial intelligence and less on hardware. By 2014, Lark was preloaded on all Samsung Galaxy S5 phones.[2]
The Lark apps focus on common chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes prevention, diabetes, and hypertension.[6] Lark Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is officially recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as an online DPP.[7]
Lark's efficacy has been evaluated by a study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research Diabetes,[8]
