24M People Will Use Diabetes Apps in 2018:

Today only 1.6 million of people with diabetes who own a smartphone use a mobile application to manage their diabetes. However, the Research Guidance firm predicts that by 2018 that number will rise to 24 million users, or 7.8% of smartphone owners with diabetes. Changes in the conception of mobile apps, from standalone software products to bundles that use the app to sell devices, such as glucometers and wearable sensors, or services, such as remote monitoring and consultation, will contribute to apps’ increased use.
