I really hope this happens (well the blood glucose thing), but this rumor has come around more than once. Admittedly this is the first time I've seen it name a company that is actually working on the tech. I wonder if including this will require FDA approval in the US as a medical device? And will I be able to get my health insurance to pay for it?
- FireBeyond 5y agoThey don't have FDA approval as a medical device for the HRM, yet. They have a lower "clearance"(?) standard, I believe, which won't meet insurance or other requirements.
- packetslave 5y agowell, one of the existing CGM (continuous glucose monitor) products on the market, Freestyle Libre, offers phone-based NFC monitoring of their sensor everywhere EXCEPT in the U.S., because the FDA hasn't given approval yet. It's been "real soon now" for almost a year. Not the sensor itself, mind you. That's been approved forever, just the ability to read it with an app instead of their dedicated NFC reader.
