Insulet, which has developed tubeless insulin pump technology, is teaming-up with diabetes management app maker Glooko to launch a new data management system named “Insulet Provided Glooko.” The system is now available to patients who use OmniPod, as well as healthcare professionals who care for these patients.
“Having the ability to track and analyze information about a patient’s insulin data, in combination with blood glucose levels, diet and exercise data, allows patients and their care teams to optimize and improve their healthcare management,” Patrick Sullivan, President and CEO of Insulet, said in a statement. “We are pleased to partner with Glooko as Insulet’s preferred data management partner and are thrilled to offer Glooko’s award winning diabetes management platform with our OmniPod System.”
With the Insulet Provided Glooko system, OmniPod patients can view data from their OmniPod Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM), Continual Glucose Monitoring (CGM), Blood Glucose Meter (BGM) and fitness tracker on mobile devices or computers, and share their data with family members and healthcare providers.
On the other hand, healthcare professionals are able to download patients’ data from multiple devices and review reports during patient visits, including access to detailed insights about their patients’ care plans. It also provides care teams with the ability to remotely monitor patients between visits and identify patients whose glucose levels are outside of a normal range or that are experiencing other clinical incidents.
