The devices are nothing new for the advanced mechanical industry. In fact, the first glucose meter for iPhone called Agamatrix’s iBG Star was launched in 2011. Since then, startups like iHealth, TelCare, and Livongo have released wireless glucose meters of their own. However, the fact is that very few users seek out such advanced glucose meters, instead using whatever meter their doctor handed them. The Accu-chek Aviva Connect and Verio Sync utilize the same test strips as other non-wireless models, ensuring instantaneous, widespread insurance coverage.
In 2008, the two companies (Roche and Lifescan) owned 58% of the global diabetes monitoring market, and the top 4 brands (adding Bayer and Abbott) owned 90% of that market.
