Tidepool collaborates with Abbott for seamless data integration with its FreeStyle Libre portfolio in the U.S., expanding patient choice and streamlining diabetes care workflows.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2024-- Tidepool, a software company committed to innovations in diabetes management, is thrilled to announce a new data integration with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) manufacturer Abbott (NYSE: ABT). A major development towards the goal of patient and provider choice, the cloud-to-cloud integration will provide an automatic stream of data from patients using Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre portfolio of CGMs in the U.S. to Tidepool+.

Tidepool+, a diabetes data visualization and population health platform, provides intuitive tracking and visualization of diabetes data, making the data informative and actionable for clinicians, people living with diabetes, and caregivers.

“As a nonprofit organization, Tidepool is dedicated to providing better access to devices and data through interoperable solutions that give all people living with diabetes greater autonomy. We are excited to work with Abbott to empower healthcare providers and people living with diabetes to see data from their FreeStyle Libre sensors on Tidepool and Tidepool+,” said Brandon Arbiter, VP of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Tidepool.

All cloud-to-cloud connections for Tidepool are designed with simplicity and streamlined workflows in mind. Clinics and health systems using Tidepool+ will be able to initiate the connection with their patients using FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 systems in clinic or remotely. Tidepool+ will seamlessly merge data from any sensor in the FreeStyle Libre portfolio into its Population Health Dashboard and retrospective data displays, creating a comprehensive overview for clinicians to assess outcomes for their entire patient population.

Tidepool and Abbott’s new data integration will simplify data sharing by automating data upload to Tidepool for patients wearing the FreeStyle Libre portfolio and create more efficient workflows for clinics and health systems that provide ongoing and proactive care.
