The iGlucose Plus is an innovative glucose meter that is easy to
use and requires no synching, pairing, smartphone, or Wi-Fi. It
automatically transmits results to the patient’s provider using
built-in cellular technology allowing real-time tracking of blood
glucose levels from anywhere.
The new iGlucose Plus allows patients to receive important
notifications and reminders, both automated and proactively sent
from a health care provider or supplier, directly on the device.
Notifications can include dietary reminders designed to help
patients make better food choices or prescription pick-up reminders
from a pharmacy. iGlucose Plus has a clear, color LED screen
allowing easier viewing of testing instructions and results,
leading to better patient satisfaction and adherence to testing
guidelines. iGlucose Plus is available with Spanish language
on-screen prompts providing improved access to care to a largely
underserved patient population. With over-the-air software updates
via cellular connectivity, iGlucose Plus has the ability to add new
features at the patient level.
“Smart Meter continues to invest heavily in R&D to improve
our solutions to make it easier for patients to test more
consistently and improve their outcomes. The new iGlucose Plus is
an excellent example of that,” said Casey Pittock, CEO of Smart
Meter. “Its enhanced battery life, stronger cellular connectivity,
and remote programming capability—combined with our proprietary
AI-driven glucose test strip auto replenishment service—make it an
exceptional value for our customers and their patients.”
With approximately 5 million people with diabetes living in
rural areas, it is important that their physicians have a way to
track their blood glucose levels on a regular basis. Because the
iGlucose Plus uses cellular networks to send results immediately,
these patients can get the proper attention they need without
making as many office visit. In a Howard University study of
patients with diabetes using the iGlucose®, 70% of high-risk
participants lowered their A1c by an average of 2.8% within 90
days1.
The new iGlucose Plus will be on display at the American
Telemedicine Association show in Phoenix, Arizona May 5 – 7 at
Smart Meter’s booth #1007.
