Companion Medical’s Bluetooth-Enabled Insulin Pen and App Cleared by FDA

Brings real-time insulin tracking, history, and a bolus calculator to injectors; launch in 2017

It is a Bluetooth pen that comes with an iOS app – therefore continuing the trend of iOS apps without a companion Android app. My understanding is that it is hard to get an Android app approved by the FDA, due to the variety of Android flavors.

The app comes with bolus calculator etc. The pen is only good for a year. Battery probably?

I like the idea of an automatic reporting pen. But I don’t like to buy throwaway gear
