Smart Meter, a leading provider of Cellular Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions, has launched the iGlucose Plus, an upgraded version of its popular cellular-connected glucose meter. With its innovative features, the iGlucose Plus aims to revolutionize remote blood glucose monitoring and improve accessibility for millions of diabetes patients.
The iGlucose Plus boasts several unique features designed to simplify glucose monitoring. It does not require synching, pairing, a smartphone, or Wi-Fi, making it exceptionally user-friendly. Utilizing built-in cellular technology, the device automatically transmits blood glucose results to the patient’s healthcare provider in real-time, enabling tracking from anywhere.
One of the key enhancements of the iGlucose Plus is its ability to deliver important notifications and reminders directly to the device. Patients can receive automated alerts or proactive messages from healthcare providers or suppliers, including dietary reminders and prescription pick-up notifications. The device features a clear, color LED screen for easy viewing of testing instructions and results, enhancing patient satisfaction and adherence to testing guidelines. Moreover, the iGlucose Plus offers Spanish language on-screen prompts, providing improved access to care for underserved patient populations. Additionally, with over-the-air software updates via cellular connectivity, the device can receive new features at the patient level.
Casey Pittock, CEO of Smart Meter, expressed the company’s commitment to continuous improvement, stating, “Smart Meter continues to invest heavily in R&D to improve our solutions and make testing easier for patients.” He highlighted the iGlucose Plus’s enhanced battery life, stronger cellular connectivity, and remote programming capability, along with the proprietary AI-driven glucose test strip auto-replenishment service, as key features that provide exceptional value to customers and patients.
With an estimated 5 million people with diabetes residing in rural areas, access to regular blood glucose monitoring is crucial. The iGlucose Plus addresses this need by leveraging cellular networks to immediately send results, ensuring timely attention for patients without the need for frequent office visits. In a study conducted at Howard University, participants using the iGlucose® saw significant improvements in A1c levels, demonstrating the device’s effectiveness in managing diabetes.
The new iGlucose Plus will be showcased at the American Telemedicine Association show in Phoenix, Arizona from May 5 – 7 at Smart Meter’s booth #1007.
