Company description
Polka's personal health platform is more than your records online. The more you log, the better the data and insight generated to chart your progress and share on your terms. You may be tracking your diet and prescriptions to lower cholesterol. Or noting fitness and diet regimens for preventative care. Or monitoring blood pressure and health changes after a heart attack. Or observing reactions and progress in the midst of a chronic condition. The way you use Polka is personal to you. We provide the tools and reminders for you to log and achieve your goals, as well as more detailed information exchanges with your physicians and support network to improve diagnoses and treatment options.
