Smart Meter has launched iGlucose Touch, a next-gen blood glucose monitoring system that aims to modernize glucose testing while providing dependable, real-time data to care teams.

iGlucose Touch was purpose-built for remote patient monitoring (RPM), according to the company. It pairs a touchscreen with the company’s proprietary cellular connectivity.

Blood glucose results are automatically and securely transmitted through Smart Meter’s private data network to customers’ RPM platform of choice. This removes the need for Bluetooth pairing, Wi-Fi, apps, and hubs.

When it’s combined with the company’s algorithm-driven direct-to-home auto test strip fulfillment program, patients can experience a low-friction experience from testing to care, the company said.

iGlucose Touch’s responsive 2.8-inch color touchscreen replaces traditional multi-button navigation with a modern interface engineered for ease of use in diverse patient populations. The system supports automatic strip coding, a five-second test time, and memory storage for up to 1,000 readings with date and time stamps. Meal markets and notes can be added to each result for a richer context when reviewing patient data.

Its advanced multicarrier SIM tech automatically connects to the strongest available cellular network in the area. This ensures readings are transmitted consistently, securely, and without patient intervention across varying geographies and coverage conditions.

In fingertip testing, 100% of test results were within U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. iGlucose Touch test strips are inserted horizontally so the blood sample can travel a shorter distance to the sensor module.

The devices reinforces the value of connected blood glucose monitoring (BGM) as a proven, accessible option, especially for patients who benefit from simple, on-demand testing without sensors or wearables. It gives providers the flexibility to personalize glucose monitoring strategies while maintaining consistent, real-time data flow across RPM programs.

“iGlucose Touch represents an important step forward in giving providers and patients more choice in how glucose is monitored,” said Casey Pittock, CEO of Smart Meter. “For many patients, a connected blood glucose meter remains the most practical, affordable, and accurate option. iGlucose Touch modernizes the BGM experience while preserving the simplicity patients and clinicians trust.”

In October, the company launched iAmbientHealth, a sensor that reportedly aims to transform patient monitoring. Unlike traditional wearables or camera-based systems, iAmbientHealth uses advanced radar technology to passively track vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, movement, and bed exits without requiring any patient interaction.
