Dario, a Tiny Smartphone-Powered Glucometer FDA Cleared
LabStyle Innovations, an Israeli firm, won FDA clearance for its Dario glucose monitoring system. The Dario includes a smartphone-connected glucometer and an Apple iOS app that records readings and helps interpret results. The system has been available in a number of countries since its initial rollout in March of 2014.
The Dario device includes a lancet and test strips within its body, making testing easier and with less hassle juggling the different pieces. The actual glucometer is a tiny dongle that plugs into the audio jack of the smartphone or tablet and accepts test strips for readings.
Because the Dario doesn't have its own display, buttons, and the associated electronics, it's tiny and all the components required to take blood glucose readings fit into a small handheld package.
