Inuity Medical, a health technology company, specializing in diabetes management, has announced the launch of its POGO Automatic Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The new handheld device uses a cartridge that carries 10 test strips and lancets to allow diabetes patients to test their glucose levels while they are on the go.
The device also features Bluetooth connectivity and can be paired with the brand's Patterns app. Once connected, users can check their real-time glucose data on their mobile phones. In addition, the app allows patients to send their data directly to their healthcare providers.
"POGO Automatic only requires the press of a button to test and no need to access separate supplies, like test strips and lancets, so testing is less disruptive to a user's everyday life," said the CEO of Intuity Medical, Emory Anderson.
