Welldoc
Public factsFDA-cleared diabetes digital therapeutic
Healthcare AI company whose Welldoc Diabetes / BlueStar software is an FDA-cleared medical device for adult type 1 and type 2 diabetes; other Welldoc apps are general-wellness products.
Overview
Welldoc sells clinically validated, AI-enabled cardiometabolic software to health organizations, including branded and white-label deployments and enhanced weight management. The homepage states that Welldoc Diabetes and Welldoc Diabetes Rx are FDA-cleared medical devices for healthcare providers and their adult patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes; other Welldoc app products are not FDA-cleared and are for general wellness and education. BlueStar is the historical FDA-cleared product name (multiple 510(k)s, including type 1 and CGM features). Welldoc also publishes partnership models that flex to the buyer rather than a single SKU.
Why it matters Welldoc is one of the few diabetes apps that is FDA-cleared as a medical device (BlueStar/Diabetes), including white-label use by plans and systems.
- Target buyer
- Health plans, health systems, life-science partners, and employers/payers that want FDA-cleared diabetes software, including white-label.
- Pricing model
- Not published; partnership and enterprise contracts
- Older Truven/ADA analyses of PMPM savings exist in secondary coverage; they are not a current Welldoc price list and are not used as fees here. CVS weight-management footnotes on the solutions page are CVS data-on-file, not Welldoc list prices.

Overview
Welldoc (welldoc.com) markets healthcare-ready AI and cardiometabolic connected care. The legally important distinction is on the homepage references: Welldoc Diabetes and Welldoc Diabetes Rx are FDA-cleared medical devices for healthcare providers and adult patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Other Welldoc apps are non-cleared wellness/education products.
Company news and DailyMed labeling describe BlueStar (originally DiabetesManager / DiabetesManager-Rx) as the cleared product, with later type 1 and CGM-related clearances. Indication language on DailyMed (type 2, age 21+ in an older label) has been expanded in later clearances; buyers should use the current FDA labeling, not this summary, for regulatory scope.
Welldoc is based in Columbia, Maryland per historical news. It describes itself as a Digital Therapeutics Alliance founding member in older releases.
