People with Type 1 diabetes who need to take insulin to keep their blood sugar under control require quick access to data on their glucose levels. This data is critical for adjusting their lifestyles, a fundamental aspect of diabetes care. However, they have to wait for three months until their next scheduled check with a healthcare provider to take measurements and understand if they are meeting glycemic targets. A leading innovative medical device company wanted to solve this problem by leveraging data from its automated insulin delivery system. Combining an on-body insulin pump, controller app, continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and algorithms to automate insulin delivery based on CGM sensor values, the system automatically collects important data every few minutes round the clock. The company was understanding that this user data could be put to work to address unmet needs and improve diabetes care. So they wanted to build a data-driven diabetes management system to deliver near-real time reports and validated actionable insights to healthcare practitioners. They applied for help to ITRex, an experienced partner in data analytics solutions.
