Founded in 1940, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) is a non-profit health organization with nearly 14,000 members. It aims to promote the development of diabetes research, education, and diagnostic technology by providing research and information about diabetes. To achieve the goal of preventing and treating diabetes and improving the quality of life of diabetic patients. The ADA Science Conference has been held for 77 sessions and is the largest and most important diabetes conference in the world.
The 77th American Diabetes Association Scientific Conference has just ended on June 13. The participating researchers and medical professionals shared current advances in diabetes research, treatment and care, as well as more than 3,000 original research reports.
Diabetes management is a key area of ​​research and development for many digital healthcare companies. Large medical device companies in the United States, such as Medtronic and DexCom, are also increasingly investing in smartphone applications and consumer-grade connected devices. So at this year's ADA conference, technology and digital healthcare companies showed potential that could not be ignored.
The author compiled and compiled the relevant reports of foreign media MobileHealthNews, especially the latest results released by various digital medical companies participating in the conference, to give you a glimpse of the frontier progress of digital medical in the field of diabetes.
DexCom: Apple Local Bluetooth, Android App and AGP Report
Dekcom Medical (DexCom) was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in San Diego, California. With 1212 full-time employees, the company is a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of blood glucose monitoring systems.
Since the beginning of June, DexCom has frequently released new news on its leading dynamic blood glucose monitor (CGM). First on June 5th, DexCom announced at Apple's WWDC that it would be one of the first companies to be able to connect directly to Apple Watch using local Bluetooth.
Previously, Dekang had provided Apple Watch applications for its CGM users, but people still need to put the paired Apple phones within the Bluetooth range, which reduces the convenience. Now CGM will be able to connect directly to the watch. Then, on June 7, DexCom announced the launch of the long-awaited Android app Dexcom Share. The app has just received FDA approval and will be available to Android users this month.
At the ADA conference, DexCom also announced an update to the company's diabetes management software platform CLARITY. DexCom is working with the International Diabetes Center (IDC) to integrate the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) report developed by IDC into the platform.
Dr. George Grunberger, Chairman of the Grunberger Diabetes Institute, is very optimistic about this cooperation. He believes that AGP's report has been used in clinical practice for several years, providing the most relevant statistical and graphical information, enabling clinicians to quickly assess patients' glycemic control levels and make meaningful clinical decisions. .
If the equipment of a medical device company is compatible with such information, the utility of the device can be greatly improved. According to this trend, AGP is expected to become an "ECG report" in the field of diabetes, which can be used worldwide.
One Drop: Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant
Jeff Dachis, founder of One Drop, is a senior technology worker with 20 years of experience in the technology field. He founded Razorfish and Dachis Group. Due to his own type 1 diabetes, Dachis founded One Drop in 2015 to provide users with a consumer-grade blood glucose monitoring kit.
The core component of the kit is an FDA-approved meter that can transfer data to the One Drop Mobile APP via Bluetooth (with iPhone and Apple Watch). In addition, the kit is equipped with a blood collection device that includes 10 needles and 100 test strips.
Currently, One Drop adds a powerful feature to its subscribers: integrating Amazon's Alexa voice assistant into the app. Users don't need to enter any information manually, they can use voice to let Alexa track blood sugar, food and physical activity in the One Drop app.
