Lark Health and Smart Meter Collaborate on Digital Diabetes Management Program

Lark Health, digital care company for the prevention and management of chronic conditions, and Smart Meter, the supplier of Remote Patient Monitoring (“RPM”) solutions, have announced a collaboration targeting the care and management of patients with type 2 diabetes across health systems. 

Lark’s clinically proven Diabetes management program, Diabetes Care, combined with the proprietary cellular-enabled iGlucose glucose meter from Smart Meter, will improve health systems' ability to manage patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Lark’s Diabetes Care program delivers real-time value and helps close gaps in care for persons with diabetes. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) care coaching program empowers patients and provides 24/7 unlimited text-message care coaching. Lark’s Diabetes Care program tracks medical appointments, A1c tests, kidney disease screenings, eye exams, flu shots, blood pressure tests, and cholesterol tests to close gaps in care and improve patients’ health through care coordination, education, and engagement. 

In addition, Lark’s digital coaching also tracks medication adherence for patients, helping address barriers when medication adherence is reported at less than 100%.

Lark’s platform monitors glucose, activity, mood, nutrition, and sleep data, illuminating trends of physical and mental health and activity over time, and leverages those insights to provide real-time, text message-like coaching for the patient. Clinically defined crises, such as severe glucose spikes or barriers to medication adherence, can trigger Lark to connect members to a telephonic or virtual resource and to share relevant information, such as glucose levels and medication adherence patterns.

Smart Meter’s iGlucose glucose meter helps patients quickly and easily test their blood sugar levels. It automatically sends glucose readings to the patient’s physician. The iGlucose meter provides accurate blood sugar measurements. It is the optimal solution for patients where continuous glucose monitoring is not an option due to CGM's high cost and complexity. 

With iGlucose, the patient’s glucose data is reliably delivered to Lark and physicians from Smart Meter via the first and only private data network for remote patient monitoring.
