PositiveID, an emerging growth company and developer of advanced technologies for diabetes management as well as sophisticated airborne bio-threat detection systems for America’s homeland defense, today announced it has begun taking orders of its FDA-cleared iglucose® mobile health system for diabetes management. Pre-orders are being accepted through the iglucose website at www.iglucose.com and the PositiveID website at www.positiveidcorp.com. PositiveID expects to commercially launch iglucose during the second quarter of 2012.
PositiveID’s FDA-cleared iglucose uses mobile technology to revolutionize the way individuals with diabetes manage their condition. By seamlessly communicating blood glucose readings from glucometers to the iglucose diabetes management portal, glucose readings can be shared with family members and healthcare professionals, making it possible to improve care in a cost-effective manner. iglucose eliminates the burden of keeping logbooks and empowers individuals with diabetes to be more engaged in the self-management of their condition. iglucose does not require the use of a cell phone or a wireless plan.
“As we complete the final stages of preparing for the commercial launch of iglucose, we are pleased, based on consumer demand, to be able to provide the opportunity to pre-order this FDA-cleared system for diabetes management,” stated William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID. “Those who order will be given priority status while we initially roll-out iglucose through pilot programs with health insurers and home-healthcare providers.”
The iglucose system collects and transmits stored data from a variety of FDA-cleared blood glucose meters such as Johnson & Johnson LifeScan®, Abbott FreeStyle®, Bayer Contour ®, and Nipro Diagnostic™ True™ monitoring systems to a secure database via wireless cellular technology. The Company is continually adding to this list of supported glucose meters. For more information on iglucose, visit www.iglucose.com.
