WESTPORT, Conn., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- dLife® Healthcare Solutions announced today that it teamed up with Welltok to bring its proven diabetes behavior change program to the CaféWell Health Optimization Platform, which enables population health managers – health plans, employers and at-risk providers – to guide and incentivize consumers to optimize their health.

"Our partnership with Welltok quickly expands our reach to deliver dLife's innovative diabetes solutions to the growing population of people who are seeking education to help them better self-manage their disease," said Mary Barbato, Vice President of Marketing, dLife.
