Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 03, 2016
Using smartphone technology, combined with a glucose-testing device connected to the back of the user’s smartphone, POPS! Diabetes Care is creating a unique, simple testing experience that 90% of patients report as less painful. “Too many diabetics are experiencing multiple complications as a result of poor glucose control,” said Lonny Stormo, CEO of POPS! Diabetes Care. “Our investors are enabling a major change through empowering patients to better self-manage their condition and create a new type of engagement from their support.”
Globally, 387 people are living with diabetes and millions of blood glucose tests are performed each day. Monitoring blood sugar throughout the day is a vital tool to control diabetes, and yet 75% of diabetes costs are due to complications from poor glucose control. Mobile and personalized healthcare is part of the solution. Diabetes management care represents the biggest market for mobile health apps in the coming years, according to data from Research2Guidance (2014). “Patients often have difficulty knowing and managing their blood glucose throughout the day,” said Victor Corbett MD. “This system will enable patients to test more reliably and provide me with a more complete picture of their glucose management.”
