Additional Information
“We are excited to bring V-Go’s easy and convenient insulin delivery solution coupled with the V-Go SIM technology onto the Glooko platform,” said Russ Johannesson, Glooko CEO. “With this integration, people with diabetes using the V-Go SIM accessory will be able to better understand the impact of seamless insulin delivery on their glycemic control and their care teams will be able to better optimize their use of this accessory.”V-Go SIM is a new, durable accessory that will snap onto Valeritas’ flagship product, V-Go® Wearable Insulin Delivery device, and is designed to provide one-way Bluetooth communication from the V-Go SIM to a patient’s smart device. The V-Go SIM's onboard electronics will provide information regarding V-Go’s use and wirelessly transmit such data via a V-Go SIM application (app) on a mobile device. This app will have the functionality to store, display, and share recorded on-board insulin delivery data and the status of V-Go to the patient and his or her healthcare provider. By partnering with Glooko, the patient can use the Glooko application not only to upload and analyze insulin usage data, but to also upload blood glucose levels and daily patient carbohydrate, food, and medication intake. Combining this patient diabetes management data within the Glooko platform will give V-Go SIM users and their healthcare providers a more robust view of how each patient is managing his or her diabetes and will enable better informed regimen and behavior modifications.
