As one of only three cellularly enabled blood glucose monitors approved by the FDA, the iGlucose® by Smart Meter is reinventing diabetes management. According to the OECD 'about 32.7 million adults were diabetics in the European Union in 2017, up from an estimated 18.2 million adults in 2000'. The gravity of this situation means the connected health landscape is ripe with opportunity – for patients, healthcare providers, and IoT experts alike.
The connected blood glucose meter enables the proactive management of diabetes by reliably and remotely transmitting data from patients to healthcare providers through cellular connectivity. This healthcare management is further enhanced by automatically sharing data with the patient’s trusted support teams. The ability to access real-time and reliable blood glucose data could help providers to make more informed clinical decisions while saving time and money for everyone involved. As an agile start-up, Smart Meter came to KORE to help solve the challenge of reliable connectivity for their smart meters. While interacting with KORE, they discovered a host of additional resources they could utilize to accelerate the speed-to-market of their solution.
“As a startup we’re going to need other types support outside of our strictly telecommunications support. The portal that KORE has to help us manage our telecommunications infrastructure has already proven to be far superior to anything we’ve had before.”
