The Abbott Lingo is the brand's first continuous glucose monitoring system positioned as an over-the-counter (OTC) solution ready to offer additional support to those looking to monitor their levels. The device is based on Abbott's FreeStyle Libre technology and comes with a biosensor that relays data collected to an accompanying smartphone app. The wearable could help consumers to better understand their glucose levels to be proactive about their future health, weight management, improving their sleep and more
Divisional Vice President of Abbott's Lingo Business Olivier Ropars commented on the Abbott Lingo saying, "There is a great deal of interest in tracking biomarkers that provide insights into one's health and wellness that were previously undetectable using the trackers available to consumers. Glucose is a powerful signal of your body's unique response to food and lifestyle. Abbott's Lingo tracks your glucose 24/7, translating the data into insights and bridging the gap between traditional health care and preventative measures. Lingo empowers individuals to build new healthy habits and take control of their health and wellness."
