Medworks, a digital healthcare startup centered on the management of diabetes with a mission to leverage behavioral economics insights to tackle the challenge of diabetes. They have recently launched Glu-Sage a mobile-phone connected glucose meter that comes with a data management portal for healthcare providers.
Currently the meter is available for Android smartphones only and will soon be available for iPhones. The device plugs into the phone jack using the Medworks application and allows the users to view, save and share their glucose readings.
As diabetes has no cure, certain practices are there in order to keep it in check. These include checking and recording glucose levels frequently. Without the data readily available for patients and healthcare providers, it is difficult to know what the problems areas are. Adjustment to insulin, medication or diet cannot be made unless this data is readily available. Therefore, the Glu-Sage device is the ideal choice to keep a check on one’s glucose levels to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
