LifeScan syncs diabetes management app to Apple Health

CHESTERBROOK, Pa. — The Johnson & Johnson Diabetes Solutions Companies announced Thursday that people with diabetes using LifeScan's OneTouch Reveal mobile management app can now view their blood sugar readings directly in the Health app on their iPhone and choose to privately and securely share that data with their healthcare team.  

 

OneTouch Verio Sync meter users can wirelessly sync their data to the OneTouch Reveal mobile app for access across multiple devices. Now, this information can be synced with the Apple Health app and shared with healthcare providers.

 

“For the nearly 400 million people worldwide living with diabetes, management needs to be approached holistically — looking not only at blood glucose levels, but also insights gleaned from how factors like diet and exercise, as well as insulin and other medications impact individual treatment regimens,” stated Brian Levy, LifeScan chief medical officer. “The only way this can be done successfully is by allowing patients to gather, combine and share their data in ways that are easier and more intuitive for them.”

 

The company also announced that in honor of World Diabetes Day on Nov. 14, it will donate 1.3 Million blood glucose monitoring test strips in support of the Life for a Child program — the International Diabetes Federation's ongoing effort to provide needed diabetes supplies to children worldwide.
