Case Study: Virta Health achieves type 2 diabetes patient reversals and faster collaborative design with Figma

How Virta Health uses Figma to help patients reverse type 2 diabetes

Virta Health, a digital healthcare company on a mission to reverse type 2 diabetes for millions, faces the high-stakes challenge of designing patient-facing experiences where usability directly impacts health outcomes. To support a design-led culture that demands consistency, transparency, and rapid cross-functional collaboration, Virta Health adopted the collaborative web-based design tool Figma as its core design platform.

Using Figma, Virta Health built a robust component library, templatized files for marketing and product, and shared prototypes that let designers, developers, marketers, and physicians work together in real time. The result: faster onboarding, a website relaunch with the first page live in one month, fewer design cycles and weeks saved in delivery, and clearer feedback loops — all supporting a consistent user experience that complements Virta Health’s clinical impact (94% of insulin users reduced or eliminated usage and 60% of patients reversed type 2 diabetes after one year). Figma’s collaboration features were pivotal in making that cross-team efficiency possible.
