About the Program
What is the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program?
The Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) is a structured lifestyle change program, covered by Medicare Part B at no cost to you, designed to help people with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Research shows that modest lifestyle changes — losing 5–7% of body weight and increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week — can reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes by up to 58%.
Unika Health delivers the MDPP entirely through our mobile app in a non-live, self-paced format — so you learn on your schedule, not a fixed class time. Your dedicated lifestyle coach is available in-app for personalized guidance throughout your 12-month journey.

Why Unika Health
Designed Around Your Life
We built the Unika DPP program to fit into your day — not the other way around.
Learn at Your Own Pace
No fixed class schedule. Complete each session whenever works for you — morning, evening, or weekend. Sessions take about 30–45 minutes and can be paused and resumed at any time.
Your Personal Lifestyle Coach
Every participant is matched with a dedicated CDC-trained lifestyle coach. Message them in-app for guidance, encouragement, and personalized feedback on your weekly goals.
Smart Weight Tracking
Pair a Bluetooth scale to automatically sync your weight after each session. Weight data is central to your progress — and is required for Medicare billing — so we make it as simple as stepping on a scale.
Weekly Goals That Stick
Set a SMART goal at the end of every session. Your coach reviews your goals and checks in — so you're always moving forward, even during busy weeks.
Track Every Win
See your weight trend, activity minutes, session streak, and progress toward the 5% and 9% weight-loss milestones — all in one dashboard. Small wins add up to big results.
Connected to Your Care Team
Your Unika Health care team can see your progress and flag concerns. Your primary care provider receives a summary at program milestones — keeping everyone on the same page.
Small changes. Lasting results.
Losing just 5–7% of your body weight and moving more can cut your risk of Type 2 diabetes by up to 58%.
