Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Ithnain (Arabic for "two") is a Riyadh-based digital health company that operates a mobile application for people living with diabetes. The app pairs each user with a certified diabetes specialist and an integrated medical team that spans diabetes education, mental health, nutrition and pharmacy, and delivers a personalized plan aimed at helping users balance daily life with the condition.

Users register and answer an onboarding questionnaire, choose a subscription package matched to their health goals and duration preference, and select a specialist from a roster of certified diabetes management experts across different disciplines. Sessions are conducted remotely and can take the form of voice calls, voice notes, text messages or interactive whiteboards, with appointment scheduling controlled by the user. The app also links daily blood-sugar readings and medication patterns to the assigned specialists, stores session recordings and content summaries for later review, and offers guidance related to continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings. The website additionally hosts articles, medical calculators and a health referral section.

Business model

Consumer subscription service: users purchase individual packages covering a set number of remote specialist sessions over a chosen subscription duration, delivered through the mobile app. The company also solicits partners and medical professionals to join its network.

Paid subscription packages for specialist sessions, sold directly to users through the app.

Traction

Third-party directory listings report a team of 15+ employees (Techstars lists a size band of 11-50) and $120K in total funding as of March 2024. The company's site publishes Arabic-language user testimonials describing improvements in glycated hemoglobin levels and diabetes education following sessions with its specialists.
