The evidence behind
the outcomes
The CDC-recognized Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is the most validated lifestyle intervention for preventing or delaying Type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes. Decades of NIH clinical trials and real-world deployment have established it as the single most cost-effective preventive health investment available to health plans and employers.
CAPPA delivers DPP digitally — maintaining full CDC recognition while adding mobile-first convenience, automated coaching workflows, and real-time outcome tracking. Organizations launch a nationally certified program without building curriculum, credentialing coaches, or managing logistics from scratch. Participants get structured support that meets them where they are.
From enrollment
to outcomes
Eligibility Screening
Participants are screened using CDC-approved prediabetes risk criteria and referred through health plan portals, employer benefits hubs, or provider referral pathways.
12-Month Structured Curriculum
26 evidence-based lessons delivered over one year — weekly for the first 6 months, monthly for maintenance. Each session targets a specific behavior change goal with validated content.
Trained Lifestyle Coaches
CDC-trained coaches guide each cohort, providing accountability, clinical context, and motivational support throughout the full program journey.
Outcome Reporting
Weight, activity, and engagement are tracked continuously. HIPAA-compliant reports support Medicare MDPP billing, HEDIS quality measures, and population health analytics.
