The Food and Drug Administration has granted 501(k) clearance to a phone app for managing insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The app will enhance Hygieia’s d-Nav Insulin Guidance Service, which uses Cloud-based technology and a small group of health care professionals to support physicians and help patients with diabetes achieve better glycemic control by providing personalized insulin adjustments. The system has been shown, in a 90-day clinical study, to reduce both costs and levels of glycosylated hemoglobin. Patients can use the app to enter glucose-event data and receive a recommended insulin dose.
“Insulin therapy is critical to the health of more than 8 million people in the United States, but it is often ineffective, largely because it requires a continual, personalized adjustment that is not practical for physicians and not manageable for patients. The d-Nav service, including the user-friendly phone app, makes insulin therapy more effective, less time intensive, and less costly for everyone involved,” Eran Bashan, CEO of Hygieia, said in a press release.
This is the first insulin-mangement app that can titrate individualized doses for all insulin regimens and the first that can connect to any glucose meter that shares information with the cloud. It is available for both Android and iOS.
