US-based specialist diabetes care company, Ascensia, has secured the CE Mark for its new Contour Next One and Contour Plus One blood glucose monitoring systems to assist in the self-monitoring of blood glucose for people with diabetes.
The devices are fitted with an easy-to-use wireless-enabled blood glucose smart meter that is connected to a smart mobile device via bluetooth connectivity.

The meter then connects to the Contour Diabetes application, a mobile application that collects, stores and analyses patient blood glucose measurements received from the meter.
The system also includes a smart light on the meter that issues instant feedback on blood glucose results, reminders and alerts to help support better management of diabetes, and features a comprehensive electronic logbook that records events such as meals, activities and medication.
Users can create an optional cloud account for management and storage of data and can email PDF summary reports to their healthcare professionals for discussion.
