[There have been a lot of interesting tech developments happening at One Drop recently which go waaaay beyond the typical CGM for managing diabetes. The update now: a pretty big one on that sensor they’ve been talking about AND results of a study on the blood glucose forecasting feature they launched in 2018 which allows members to “see” how their blood glucose will be trending up to 8 hours in advance. I’ve got an update from the guy who’s building this stuff, One Drop’s EVP of Advanced Technologies, Research & Discovery, Dan Goldner.
So, One Drop’s work developing its predictively capabilities (blood glucose forecasts, blood pressure insights, CGM predictions, etc.) is directly related to their sensor – which is why the study they published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR)
on their blood glucose forecasts that indicates better clinical outcomes AND more self-monitoring engagement from members is clutch.
Dan puts those study results into context, talks about the 39 billion data points propelling those predictive solutions, and leaves us with a big teaser about the sensor. What’s this all about? In case you missed it, you’ll want the latest. One Drop has previously announced that it’s working on a “minimally invasive continuous health sensor” that will DRASTICALLY improve the insights and flexibility people living with diabetes currently get from blood glucose monitor finger pricks. What’s new now? An interesting phrase that might tease at how affordable this solution could be down the line: “daily disposable.” Watch me geek out and do my best to get some answers!
