- Insulet is the first and only company to offer a tubeless
automated insulin delivery (AID) system with full control from a
compatible iPhone or Android™ phone
- Provides more choice and added convenience for Omnipod 5
users
Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (Insulet or the Company), the
global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod®
brand of products, today announced the full market release of the
Omnipod 5 App for iPhone® in the U.S.
Now available to download for free on the Apple App Store, the
App allows users to fully control their Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin
Delivery System (Omnipod 5) from their compatible iPhone1. For
example, users can bolus for a meal, change a Pod, and adjust
settings. Importantly, this also means that Omnipod 5 users who
have a compatible iPhone no longer need to carry a separate
Controller to help manage their insulin delivery requirements.
“Diabetes is complicated, but managing it doesn’t have to be,”
said Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product
and Customer Experience Officer. “The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone
gives people with diabetes more choices and simplifies their daily
routine. Using your own mobile phone also makes diabetes management
more convenient. That’s a winning combination and is why we are
thrilled to bring this much-anticipated innovation to our
customers.” Mr. Benjamin noted that the App for iPhone has been the
number one feature requested by Omnipod 5 users.
The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone offers unique capabilities, such as
a Custom Foods feature that allows users to input, save, and list
carbohydrate counts for their typical meal sizes, favorite foods,
and snacks. Users can select from their personalized list of foods
when using the SmartBolus Calculator to determine how much insulin
to receive for a meal, thus minimizing carb counting and
simplifying mealtime math.
Designed and repeatedly tested with Omnipod 5 users to deliver
meaningful improvements over their experience with a Controller,
the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone has an intuitive user interface that
includes real time glucose information directly on the home
screen.
“For the past two and a half years, I’ve been able to experience
the life-changing benefits of the Omnipod 5 System. The only
missing piece was compatibility with my iPhone,” said Lauren
Bongiorno, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 24 years. “Now
that I don’t have to carry around my Controller, the freedom and
flexibility I’ve experienced every day has further increased. The
App and all the new features have made routine moments like going
to the gym, eating out, and being on the go so much simpler.” Ms.
Bongiorno, a sponsored Omnipod 5 user, was part of a group that
participated in the limited market release of the Omnipod 5 App for
iPhone.
The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone is currently compatible with the
Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and is
expected to be compatible with the Dexcom G7 CGM in the U.S. in
2025. The Omnipod 5 App for Android phones is also available to
U.S. customers.
