Ascensia Diabetes Care Launches Smarter Version Of Contour®diabetes App With New Features To Support Self-management

Newbury, United Kingdom, 12th December, 2017 - Today, Ascensia Diabetes Care has announced the launch of its upgraded version of the CONTOUR®DIABETES app in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It includes the new My Patterns feature, which can more intelligently analyse blood glucose results received from the CONTOUR®NEXT ONE meter, providing personalised meaningful feedback to help improve diabetes self-management for patients. This new release will be available from today in the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). The CONTOUR®DIABETES app seamlessly connects to the CONTOUR®NEXT ONE blood glucose meter. The My Patterns feature on the upgraded CONTOUR®DIABETES app analyses data received from the meter to identify and notify the user of sub-optimal patterns in their blood glucose readings. Once it has notified the user that a pattern has been identified, the CONTOUR®DIABETES app will prompt users about the possible causes of the pattern and provide guidance to help address it. It allows patients to set reminders or use testing plans to help improve their sub-optimal blood glucose patterns, and will track their progress to see if the pattern improves over time. The latest version of the app includes the ability to recognise 14 different patterns and includes 11 different structured testing plans. The app will continue to evolve in the future to include additional patterns and testing plans, as well as adding new features and functionality. My Patterns has been developed using behavioural science concepts and is based on the Information, Motivation and Behavioural Skills model for chronic diseases that was pioneered by psychologist Dr William Fisher. The basis of this model is that people with diabetes need actionable information, motivation to act on that i Continue reading >>

Contour Diabetes App (uk) On The Appstore

Contour Diabetes App (uk) On The Appstore

This pair of the glucose tester (BG meter) has been a big improvement from the digital LCD meters I have been using. The meter/tester is basically an iPhone sensor this explains its simplicity. The app provides ample functionality but is limited and confined. It wouldve extended its reach exponentially if only it opened itself to other applications e.g. Apples native Health app and other Diabetes apps, which I dont quite get because their main business is the meter the app is a compliment. The more apps that can access the contour app data the more people would get the meter to use with their preferred applications. I sincerely hope Contour App is going to open its doors in the immediate future. One thing I would like to mention though it has nothing to do with the app, the microlet lancets are very well made and are extremely sharp this equates to little or no pain. This app has amazing potential but it just isnt reliable enough to be useful. Ive been using this since it launched on 2 different phones and it just is far too glitchy to rely on. The main issue for me is connectivity between the meter and phone. To start with it was perfect then after the first update it just constantly lost connection. The faff of pairing it all the time got boring quickly. When I moved to the new phone I thought maybe the issue would be resolved but no. I have had to reinstall several times and still it refuses. Im most likely going to switch to a different meter thats more self contained. Its irritating because honestly Im not going to be writing readings down on paper or a spreadsheet, who has the time for that, so the consultant will be sulking shortly, course hes more than welcome to spend hours of his life transcribing results and making a graph if he feels the urge! This app has Continue reading >>
