SmartDiabetes launches in Florida

[Guest guest]

Infopia America’s SmartDiabetes product line has launched in 284 Walgreens

drug stores in central and northeast Florida. The stores in this region will

be the first in the national drug store chain to promote the SmartDiabetes

product line, which coordinates diabetes management between the patient,

physician, and pharmacist.

The product line features a blood glucose monitor and a blood pressure

monitor, both of which are enabled to transmit results to a HIPPA compliant

server for provider and caregiver review. The server, which is branded the

Test n’ Share Network, is powered by the Eocene System, allowing patients to

manage their personal health records and electronic log books as well as

share them in real-time with their healthcare teams.

The SmartDiabetes Xpres Blood Glucose Monitor is available in a complete

all-in-one diabetes testing kit, including 5 Xpres Test Strips. Additional

Smart Diabetes products include: 50 Ct. Xpres Test Strips, PressurePlus

Blood Pressure Monitor, Vantage Lancing Device, and Vantage 100 Ct. Lancets.

Data transmission products are also available at Walgreens.

“At Infopia America, our mission is to improve testing compliance and

enhance patient care through increased communication using result-sharing

technology,” said Sowards, CEO of Infopia America. “We believe the new

affordable SmartDiabetes product line will allow persons with diabetes a way

to proactively manage their condition with their healthcare team for better

outcomes.”

Walgreens has trained its pharmacists and store managers and will be

showcasing the line next to the pharmacy.

“We are looking forward to enhancing the lives of our customers with

diabetes by offering them the SmartDiabetes solution,” said Marlin Hutchens,

Regional Vice President for Walgreens Stores. “We are extremely excited

about the impact the SmartDiabetes program will have in creating a stronger

consultative relationship between our pharmacists, customers, and their

healthcare team. The SmartDiabetes program takes patient care to the next

level, and we strongly believe everyone benefits from that.”
