The leader in glucose monitoring, Dexcom, said that it is extending its diabetes care portfolio by providing Apple Watch users with direct Bluetooth connectivity for its G7 continuous glucose monitoring system.
Users no longer need to hold their iPhone in order to check their glucose readings in real time thanks to this functionality. In addition to the U.S., U.K., and Ireland, it will be released in more regions later this month.
The business gave top priority to hardware and software updates while designing the Dexcom G7, so that users may access this capability.
In order to enable wireless communication of glucose readings to multiple display devices (such as a smartphone, smartwatch, receiver, or connected automated insulin-delivery system) simultaneously and independently, one of those updates involved giving the Dexcom G7 wearable sensor additional Bluetooth capabilities.
Dexcom chief operating officer Jake Leach sent an email to MobiHealthNews saying, "Direct to Apple Watch has been one of our most requested features, and we're thrilled to roll it out to Dexcom G7 users." "People can go for a run, enjoy a meal out, and feel confident leaving their iPhone behind."
The Health app will hold the data from the Dexcom G7.
Stelo, the company's over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor patch, just got FDA certification and transmits readings straight to the wearer's smartphone.
Real-time Dexcom diabetes data was first included into wearables by Garmin in 2021 with their digital watches.
An app with gamification aspects that focuses on foot care and self-monitoring of foot ulcers was created by researchers at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in Singapore.
Other participants in this market include the Massachusetts-based virtual diabetic care provider Podimetrics and the New Zealand-based research team's FootSense, a home-based foot monitoring device.
