Dexcom CGM data directly into their
apps.
The idea with One Drop is that with
additional data all in one place, the
diabetes management experience can
be made much more simple. Dachis
says, "Combining Dexcom data with
One Drop's ability to connect users,
coaches and diabetes peers will help
drive innovation and will bring about more
affordable, accessible, scalable, and
effective solutions."
One Drop users can now connect
their Dexcom data direct on Android
and iOS from within the One Drop
settings. With One Drop and Dexcom
directly linked, users are able to receive
automated, personalized insights gained
from combining data from their diabetes
devices, medical records, as well as from
other apps and wearables. They can also
explore how their food choices impact
their glucose control and connect with -
and learn - from coaches and diabetes
peers in a data-driven community.
As well as Dexcom, One Drop's
mobile app also works with Apple Watch
as well as other wearable health tech such
as Garmin, Fitbit, Nike+, Jawbone, Misfit,
Pebble and Withings and apps including
My Fitness Pal and Weight Watchers.
