Company Summary

Glooko's 510(k) cleared solution starts by allowing patients to seamlessly transfer blood glucose data from all major glucose meters to a mobile application. Our application and cloud platform creates a "trusted" logbook and analytics that are leveraged by clinicians and health plan/disease management teams to more effectively engage patients and adjust care plans.
