After Arriving On Android, Glooko Lands $7M From Samsung & More To Bring Predictive Diabetes Care Global
After Arriving On Android, Glooko Lands $7M From Samsung & More To Bring Predictive Diabetes Care Global
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/2mJLxcDVVuA/
The proliferation of connected devices, coupled with rapid advances in data analytics and sensor technology, has fundamentally changed the way people interact with and manage their health. Thanks to smartphones and a new generation of smart, wearable gadgets, it's now easier than ever before to monitor and and analyze a dizzying array of inputs and physiological signals and inputs — from your heart rate and calorie intake to your biorhythms and stress levels.
The promise of today's health apps is that, by leveraging mobility and realtime analytics, they can help Average Joes like you and me transform biometric data into something more substantial Information, knowledge and changes in behavior. While the market continues to brim with all manners of behavioral change and health management apps, only a tiny fraction of startups are addressing an area in which health management and tracking technology could (arguably) have the greatest impact: Chronic diseases and conditions.
Glooko launched in late 2011 to bring mobility and data tracking to people living with Diabetes, a population underserved by advances in mobile technology. After all, Diabetes, like any chronic condition, by nature requires constant monitoring from patients — across a number of devices. So, the company set out on a mission to address the lack of interoperability and standardized methods for data transfer among devices (and glucose meters) to finally create a unified diabetes management solution.
The effort has begun to pay off, as Glooko now supports data transfer between 26 glucose meters and 28 different mobile devices. For some perspective, compatibility with 26 meters means that it covers roughly 85 percent of existing meters in the U.S., says Glooko's Vikram Singh. In November, on the heels of approval from the FDA, Glooko took another big step toward device agnosticism, expanding its support from iOS to Android devices — a move which the company says makes it the the "only FDA-cleared mobile diabetes management system to support the transfer of glucose data from dozens of meters to Android devices."
With its coverage increasing, the company is ready to take the next big step, says CEO Rick Altinger, thanks to the help of a few familiar names in the world of mobile technology. Today, the company announcement that it has raised $7 million in a Series A-1 financing round from investors that include Samsung Venture Investment Company and Lifeforce Ventures, with participation from existing investors, The Social + Capital Partnership, Sundeep Madra and Yogen Dalal, among others.
With its new capital in tow, which brings its total to around $11.5 million, Glooko will focus on the next phase of data tracking technology applied to health: Predictive care. In order to have the biggest possible impact, Glooko will look to leverage its patient datasets to enable predictive diabetes care by delivering both patient data and decision-making algorithms to health providers and payer groups, Altinger says.
With the help of a huge mobile player like Samsung, Glooko believes that it can begin to liberate blood glucose data from meters and make it more accessible to both patients and health providers. Going forward, the company will look to scale its diabetes management system across the globe, while adding a predictive layer of analytics and messaging that it hopes will allow healthcare providers to make therapeutic recommendations to its patients in realtime.
As it stands today, Glooko's system now includes its "MeterSync Cable" and applications for both iOS and Android, which combined, allow data to be transferred from meters directly to a user's mobile device. The apps then integrated directly into the existing Glooko management web dashboards, enabling healthcare providers and care management teams to remotely monitor at-risk patients.
By doing so, Glooko is hoping to provide health systems and disease management organizations with access to better population management and analytics tools that can allow them to both increase focus on at-risk patients and, over the long-run, achieve higher levels of adherence to treatment plans. By focusing on increasing involvement of healthcare providers, Glooko also sees a path towards monetization, as it could begin charging health insurance companies a subscription fee for access to tools that allow them to better execute managed care (and higher savings).

The Galaxy Gear didn't exactly light the world on fire, but you should have some sympathy for Samsung — it turns out that making a hit smartwatch is much more challenging than making a hit smartphone. In an interview with Re/code, Samsung Design America studio chief Dennis Miloseski discusses why smartwatches are still very much works in progress and says that tech companies are still trying to cope with some of the technological limitations of the hardware that's available now to use in devices such as the Galaxy Gear.

A new iOS messaging application will do for text messaging what Snapchat does for pictures – make them available only temporarily to the receiver, who won't be able to save a copy for later use – while offering end-to-end encryption as well. Available as a free download in the App Store, Confide will deliver disappearing messages to users by connecting them via their email accounts, GigaOm reports, not phone numbers. In order to access the message, users will have to install the application on their iOS devices.

With Release Of iOS 7.1 Beta 3, Apple Favors Circular Buttons, Changes To Phone & "Power Off" Screens
Apple is continuing to tweak the interface to its iOS 7 mobile operating system, it seems, as today's release of the iOS 7.1 beta 3 build indicates. In this latest update, the company has revamped the phone dialer, in-call screen, and power off screen, with a tendency to favor circular buttons where there were once rectangular ones. Also added are new options for setting the wallpaper, and gradient changes to the icons for the Facetime, Messages and Phone apps, among other things.
The latest build follows two others, the first released in November, with beta 2 arriving just last month. These brought about minor interface tweaks, including the removal of the darker keyboard option, and more. With today's release, the most visible change – at least for consumers, who already took some time to warm up to the visual overall that was iOS 7 – are updates to several of the more commonly used screens on the iPhone.
Screens associated with phone calls are getting a makeover, with round green and red buttons at the bottom of the dialer and call-in-progress screen, respectively. When receiving an incoming call, the "Decline" and "Accept" options are also now just round buttons, with the "Remind Me" and "Message" option as smaller, white icons just above.
Thanks to iClarified.com, you can see great before and after's of all these changes to the phone interface.
Meanwhile, the "Slide to power off" screen has also been revamped, and the screen will even dim as you slide the button over to the right.

More minor changes include a new wallpaper picker with a motion on/off setting, slightly darker gradients on the green icons for Messages, Facetime and Phone, updated Repeat and Shuffle buttons, new backspace/shift highlights, and a bolder keyboard. The update also fixes bugs related to setting up a new iCloud account during the setup assistant, problems with audiobooks playing in the Music app, but may cause other issues, including the ability to send iMessages, which will sometimes fail upon first try.
Of course, what many are hoping for when Apple ships the 7.1 build are backend improvements that will improve the experience of using the software, which today still suffers from bugs that cause the phone to freeze or even restart. Recently, Google Ventures' MG Siegler (also a TechCrunch contributor, and longtime Apple columnist) chronicled these problems on his personal blog, saying that iOS 7, as it stands now, is "not up to snuff."
7.1 may resolve some of these bugs, and given how regularly they occur – at least for some users (yes, myself included) – it's hopeful that the public build will ship sooner rather than later.

The Polaroid Socialmatic Is An Android Camera And An Instant Printer Mashed Together
The good old Polaroid brand isn't dead yet — with the Polaroid Socialmatic, the concept has now become a product. It has a camera with a 14-megapixel camera, a 4.5" touchscreen LCD display that runs Android, a Zero Ink printer, and wi-fi and Bluetooth capabilities. At $299, it will be a tough sell for those who already have a smartphone in their pockets.
The two main features that differentiate the camera from a smartphone are the printing and sharing aspects. After taking a picture with the back camera or the 2-megapixel front camera, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest using the built-in software on a Wi-Fi network. At the same time, you can print a 2×3 little photo.
In a corner of your printed photo, there is a QR code so that other Socialmatic users can scan it, get the digital version from Polaroid's servers, and reprint it. While it's a good idea, a QR code doesn't look good on your photo.
As the camera runs Android, many users will install Instagram right away. The Socialmatic will become a dedicated Instagram camera. That's why the QR code integration feels weird.
On this camera, you will also find 4GB of internal storage and a Micro SD slot. If you want to share photos on the go, you will have two options: you can either send your photos to your phone, or tether your phone.
PLR IP Holdings, C&A Licensing, Socialmatic and ZINK Imaging are the four companies behind the Instagram Socialmatic. This is what remains from Polaroid Corporation. The companies count on the popular Polaroid name and the iconic look to sell this new camera — but will it be enough?
