Philosys has received U.S. FDA (FDA) 510K approval for its Gmate SMART Blood Glucose Monitoring System.

The Gmate SMART meter is the size of a quarter and connects to the headphone jack on the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, while using the free Gmate SMART app to deliver blood glucose test results.

Said application and meter integrate diabetes management directly to an iOS device while providing the following features: goal setting, graphing, and the ability to email or text blood glucose test results directly to a healthcare provider.

According to Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings, chronic diseases such as diabetes are costly and taxing on the current system. The use of mobile technologies that monitor patient symptoms and provide real-time treatment options have the potential to control costs, reduce errors, and improve the overall patient experience.
