FDA Approves LifeScan’s iPhone Diabetes App 

 

After almost four years, Johnson & Johnson company LifeScan has announced the launch of a Bluetooth-enabled glucose meter and companion iPhone app. The new LifeScan app works with the OneTouch Verio Sync Meter and similar software is embedded in the OneTouch Verio IQ meter. The Verio Sync meter sends blood sugar test results directly to the app, which works with Apple mobile devices running iOS 4+ operating systems, including iPhones, iPod touch devices, and iPads. The app can store up to 2,500 blood glucose results and events, and up to one year of results and events; synchronizes its time with the meter; makes it easy to tag meals and add notes; alerts the user of one or more patterns found in results once downloaded; enables the user to manually enter data like results, carbs, activity, or medication; and allows the user to share blood glucose results via text message or email.
