Qualcomm brings wireless data capture to J&J glucose meters
Summary
They have to do so manually, in a process that requires “multiple cables and software versions,” Qualcomm said in a statement. "Enabling timely access to blood glucose data generates actionable insights for physicians and patients for more informed diabetes care management," said Rick Valencia, president of Qualcomm’s Qualcomm Life subsidiary, in the statement. "The secure, wireless data capture that 2net provides is valuable for clinicians as they seek transformative ways to treat people with diabetes efficiently and effectively across the care continuum." The duo plans a limited rollout of the 2net solution to physicians’ offices this fall, and to introduce it globally in 2018. This isn’t Qualcomm’s first partnership with a major diabetes device maker—in May last year, the company joined forces with Medtronic to create an affordable, wireless, disposable continuous glucose monitor.
