Indianapolis-based Prevounce Health, a provider of remote care management software, devices and services, has introduced a remote blood glucose monitoring device.

The Pylo GL1-LTE blood glucose meter is clinically validated and connects to multiple cellular networks to ensure reliable data transmission throughout the USA. It is for use with the firm’s remote care management platform and can integrate with other health software via the Pylo cloud API. Prevounce’s line of Pylo cellular-connected devices also includes blood pressure monitors and weight scales.

The meter (www.prevounce.com/patient-devices-kits/pylo-connected-devices/remote-patient-monitoring-blood-glucose-devices/pylo-lte-blood-glucose-meter-gl1) is for use by patients enrolled in remote patient monitoring (RPM) programmes for diabetes. With roaming 4G connectivity, the device requires no configuration and securely transmits real-time readings to patient care teams. Tested, FDA cleared and FCC certified, the meter delivers plasma glucose results with accuracy comparable with laboratory testing equipment. Patients benefit from an intuitive user interface, an easy-to-use test strip ejector mechanism and a carrying case that comes standard.

“Clinical evidence shows that remote blood glucose monitoring is associated with improved glycaemic control for diabetic patients,” said Daniel Tashnek, CEO of Prevounce. “Reliable devices and consistent readings are essential for RPM programmes to realise their full clinical and financial potential. We’re excited to introduce a new Pylo glucometer that is not only dependable and accurate but also comfortable and simple for patients to use.”

Healthcare organisations can personalise the meter to deliver a consistent brand experience. Pylo devices and their packaging are designed for easy customisation, allowing for the addition of logos, taglines, patient inserts and more. Prevounce also offers inventory and logistics support. Devices or multi-device kits can be shipped to organisations or individual patients anywhere in the USA within two business days. Return and refurbishment services help organisations get the most out of their device investment.

Prevounce (www.prevounce.com) delivers cloud software, cellular-connected devices and expert services that help healthcare organisations simplify the provision of RPM, chronic care management, preventive care and annual wellness visits. It offers blood pressure monitors, weight scales and blood glucose meters, with additional devices under development.
