BlueStar is a diabetes mobile app that only patients with a prescription will be able to have access to. With the app, patients will be able to monitor and analyze their glucose readings, plus receive real-time coaching on how to handle their particular case of diabetes.
Unlike a lot of novel health-focused apps out there, BlueStar is centered around diagnosis and treatment. And since the BlueStar app makes recommendations on medicine doses and when medications should be taken, the app sought and received clearance from the FDA.
