Medtronic reports improved glycemic control with Smart MDI system in real-world study
The study analysed data from 1,852 individuals with type 1 diabetes across Europe. It found that those who acted on more than 75% of missed dose or high glucose alerts achieved an average Time in Range (TIR) of 67.2% and 71.5%, respectively.
The findings highlight the potential of the Smart MDI system, which integrates the InPen smart insulin pen with the Simplera continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor.

Clarius developed the training tool to help address the growing demand for clinicians skilled in conducting breast exams.
While the FDA recommends that breast implant patients undergo ultrasound breast exams every two to three years, the shortage of skilled sonographers has created long wait times for patients. Many plastic surgeons are using ultrasound in their practice and seek training to increase their proficiency with reading grey scale images, which are notoriously difficult to interpret for new users.
