Healthcare Excellence Through Technology Show (UK) interviews Nipro
Nipro Diagnostics, Nipro’s arm in the UK, aims to be the single one-stop shop for every person requiring blood glucose monitoring. With this in mind, Nipro offers people living with Type 1 diabetes the 4SURE range of glucose meters that have an accuracy rate of 99.3%, and partnered with the revolutionary Diabetes:M App. Why does Nipro use innovative technology as part of the solution for those living with diabetes?
Tom Atkinson, Country Manager (UK) of Nipro Diagnostics, answers:
What we understood from day one, was that we have to work the same way as our patients. They don’t want a meter that the NHS cannot afford; they want one with Bluetooth connectivity. And they want an App, which has got to be their Dashboard – everybody wants an App. Our big plus is that access to our new innovative technology, is obviously free, along with the Starter Pack from their diabetes clinic – which includes their initial consumables.
We are “part” of the solution – but for the patient, we are the major part – as it’s our technology they are using every day and we are the link between them and their own clinic or doctor, as we are providing the vital remote monitoring bridge to keep a patient in touch with their HCP so they can monitor their glucose levels remotely in real time and change their medication and other variables, there and then, if needs be.
We don’t want diabetes to be the affliction for everyone – but we do want to provide the all-embracing solution for those that need it.
