A digital health system compatible with a smartphone was recently approved by the FDA. The smart portable blood glucose monitor comes with built-in needles and sensor that can be attached to the back of the smartphone. It provides instant blood glucose levels and has in-app coaching with a cloud-based platform. The user can also review the trends of blood sugar and could share this information with family, friends and with their doctors.
Moreover, the system will encourage the testing frequency and will send reminders to users. Importantly it will be not necessary to attach the blood glucose monitor to phone for monitoring. Source: Helio Endocrinetoday
