According to an announcement made by Cellnovo, the company received CE Mark approval for the world’s first mobile diabetes management system which is a major breakthrough for the company and for people living with diabetes.
Chief Executive Officer of Cellnovo, William McKeon said: “This is Cellnovo’s first step in a journey to bring this mobile diabetes management system to the world.”
A complete diabetes management system, Cellnovo is based on the principles of mobile, wireless technology, including an insulin patch pump, a wireless, touch screen handset with a built-in blood glucose monitor, and an extendable applications set.
Dr. Pratik Choudhary, Clinical Lecturer in Diabetes at King’s College London stated: “Cellnovo has created the first insulin pump that brings innovation and combines form with function, essential qualities in a device that patients have to interact with 24/7.”
Thanks to Cellnovo’s revolutionary technology, treating diabetes will be more simple, precise and intuitive. The system’s patch pump is the smallest and most accurate on the market and for those familiar with Apple iPhones, the touch-screen, wireless handset will be easy to use.
Irl B. Hirsch, Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA said: “Cellnovo has combined advanced mobile and medical technology which may create a paradigm shift in diabetes care. For the multitude of patients who could benefit from pump therapy, Cellnovo could be a game-changer.”
Cellnovo’s most impressive feature is its wireless handset that transmits real-time data to a portal for patients and caregivers to use, meaning that patients are no longer enslaved in keeping meticulous journals. Patients and caregivers are put at ease, as the collected data is remarkably accurate and consistent, ensuring optimal monitoring and treatment of the disease.
Dr. Mark Evans, Lecturer and Honorary Consultant at the Institute of Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge commented: “The ability to see real-time data of patients who may be hundreds of miles away provides the opportunity to redefine our care model.”
