Company info
- At Luna Health, our mission is to bring automated insulin delivery to the people who have been left out of it. Insulin pumps have offered automation for years, but fewer than 5% of insulin users have one. They're expensive, intrusive, and complicated. Over 90% of insulin users rely on pens instead: simple, discreet, and until now, entirely manual. Luna is changing that. Our device works overnight, automatically delivering micro-boluses of insulin while people sleep. Better Nights for Better Days.
