Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT), the global leader in medical technology, recently announced that Sugar.IQ with Watson, the first-of-its-kind cognitive app that helps detect important patterns and trends for people with diabetes, is now in live use for the first time.
With app development now completed, the first users are participating in real-world testing of the final release candidate. Developed with IBM Watson Health, the Sugar.IQ app will be demonstrated at the 10th Annual Health 2.0 Fall Conference in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Sugar.IQ app uses real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and insulin information from Medtronic pumps and glucose sensors. It leverages IBM cognitive computing power, combined with Medtronic's expertise in diabetes, to find hidden patterns in diabetes data and will offer real-time and personalized insights so that people with diabetes can spend less time worrying about their data and have more freedom to simply enjoy life. The app will provide individualized guidance in understanding and helping to manage elements of daily diabetes decisions by creating a single platform that brings together relevant data and provides context and insights.
