Commenting on the agreement, Christian Kanstrup, senior vice president, Strategy, Access & Marketing, Novo Nordisk said: “We are excited to partner with Glooko and to take another step towards delivering digital health offerings that help people with diabetes to improve their blood glucose control. Working in partnerships will furthermore enhance our ability to demonstrate the real-world value of our portfolio of diabetes treatments.”
Glooko is one of the leading population health platforms for diabetes management and enables people with diabetes to more easily track and better manage their condition using mobile, web and cloud technology. Glooko’s award-winning mobile health app enables individuals to synchronise their data from a majority of the world’s most popular diabetes and exercise devices including blood glucose meters. Glooko’s population health application enables care teams to remotely support people with diabetes to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes at a lower cost.
“Glooko’s partnership with Novo Nordisk aims to empower tens of millions of patients with digital tools to make diabetes management easier”, said Rick Altinger, Glooko CEO. “We look forward to delivering jointly-branded capabilities that will enhance the collaboration between patient and healthcare professionals and enable us to provide joint offerings to people living with diabetes around the world.”
