JDRF is a leader in setting the agenda for diabetes research worldwide, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of type 1 research. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder which results in the loss of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with the disorder produce too little or no insulin and must regularly monitor their blood sugar and give themselves insulin through injections or a pump to stay alive.

S5Health toolset is developed to improve the quality of health care and health outcomes for millions of people living with diabetes. Jim Jordan, CEO and Founder of S5Health, said, “Thank you and congratulations to the many people who came out to raise money for diabetes research and support JDRF, the S5Health team, walkers, sponsors and volunteers.”  Jim said, “With great support from local Hamilton County businesses, such as TKSoftware, and our local chapter of JDRF, we are moving closer to our goal - a cure for diabetes and its complications.” JDRF is moving research from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside. Jim agrees that real innovation results from looking at the challenges people living with diabetes face every day and using technology to extend and enhance their lives. According to Jim, “The S5Health diabetes platform was developed from the perspective of the patient and family members living with diabetes, their clinicians, and providers.”
