Asante Solutions, Inc., manufacturer of the Asante Snap Insulin Pump, and Dexcom announced today their intention to enable the Dexcom mobile app platform, which is currently under development, to integrate and display insulin data from the Asante Snap Insulin Pump. This will be the second insulin delivery device to be integrated into the Dexcom mobile app, which is designed to aggregate glucose and other diabetes-related data from patients' devices and display the integrated data on a smartphone. In June, Dexcom announced its intention to maintain an "open architecture" approach to diabetes-related data which will include an "Authorized by Dexcom" mark to indicate the compatibility of devices and apps integrating Dexcom CGM data.
"Asante's mission is to simplify the management of diabetes, both for people with diabetes and their healthcare providers, and this is the next step in doing so," said David Thrower, CEO of Asante Solutions. Integration with the Dexcom mobile platform is the next step in our commitment to make pump data available where and how a patient will want to view it," Thrower continued.
"More than ever, we believe that effective diabetes management depends on timely and accurate data. That is why we are excited to complete development of our mobile app and integrate data from the Asante Snap™ Insulin Pump system," said Kevin Sayer, Dexcom President and Chief Operating Officer.
