FreeStyle Libre captures real-time glucose readings from one-second smartphone scans over a sensor on the back of the upper arm. The technology also provides historical trends and patterns.
The glucose sensing system eliminates the need for fingerstick.
Under the partnership, the integrated solution will deliver real-time glucose data along with actionable information for diabetes management. Participants also receive personalised recommendations from coaches.
Abbott diabetes care senior vice-president Jared Watkin said: “We’ve seen how FreeStyle Libre transforms lives through its proven track record in improving health outcomes and our goal is to find new ways for even more people with diabetes to benefit from this technology.
