Medtronic recently announced the commercial availability of its MiniMed Connect, a product that will enable patients to view their insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring information on their smartphone, according to a company press release.
MiniMed Connect will be compatable with the MiniMed 530G system and the MiniMed Revel system and will enable patients to view their information through an app on their smartphone. The app will initially be launched on iOS devices, but Medtronic is working with Samsung to make it available for Android.
MiniMed Connect will allow health care partners to view the information through CareLink Personal and will deliver messages to the care partners when a person's glucose levels are too high or too low or when an alarm on the pump is not cleared.
With patient permission, health care providers will be able to view the information on the CareLink Personal reports.
"Effective management of diabetes requires an engaged team of participants, and MiniMed Connect serves to inform and involve people with diabetes, their loved ones and their health care professionals," Annette Bruls, president of the Diabetes Service and Solutions business at Medtronic, said in the release. "Safe and secure sharing of critical diabetes data is an important step for Medtronic as we transform into a holistic diabetes management company."
