Roche Diabetes integrates Accu-Chek Connect System with the Apple Health app on iPhone

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS - Roche Diabetes Care on Thursday announced the integration of the Accu-Chek Connect System with the Apple Health app on iPhone. The integration will allow patients using the Accu-Chek Connect app to share data with HealthKit and easily view their blood glucose levels and carbohydrates in the Health app alongside other activity and health information.

 

The Accu-Chek Connect system is a diabetes management system that consists of the Accu-Chek Aviva Connect meter, an app (accu-chek.com/connect-ios) and an online portal that allows patients, caregivers and healthcare providers to view, share and access blood glucose data anytime, anywhere. In addition, a doctor can activate an insulin dosage calculator on the app, the Accu-Chek Bolus Advisor, which makes it easy to calculate how much insulin is needed at each meal. The simple-to-use meter wirelessly sends blood glucose results to the Accu-Chek Connect app on iPhone.

 

“For people with diabetes, simplifying the management of their condition can be an essential part of championing their own health and wellness. We are excited to announce the integration of Accu-Chek Connect with the Apple Health app,” stated Marc Gibeley, head of Roche Diabetes Care North America. “This integration is the next step in helping those with diabetes adopt a holistic approach in managing their overall care, by allowing them to log, view, and share their diabetes data with other health tracking applications on their iPhone. It also provides healthcare teams with a better view of the patient’s lifestyle as they assess the role of health and fitness in their management routine.”

 

With user permission, other mobile apps such as electronic medical records apps or apps tracking health and wellness that integrate with HealthKit may also access this data. For example, with the help of HealthKit, blood glucose data will now be able to flow seamlessly from the Accu-Chek Aviva Connect meter to the Epic and Cerner EMR software.

 

Accu-Chek Aviva Connect is available exclusively at Walgreens.
