Bringing together exercise, health, and diabetes data from compatible diabetes and health monitoring devices and apps with Glooko enhances diabetes management and allows people with diabetes and their healthcare provider to have greater insight about what adjustments might need to be made in care plans. Having the data available in one place makes it easier for care teams to make more informed decisions about treatment moving forward.
As an added benefit, next time people living with diabetes won’t have to guess when their care team asks how many minutes of exercise they did in a week.
Glooko’s Compatibility with Health Monitoring and Fitness Devices and Apps
Our connected care platform is compatible with leading health monitoring and fitness devices and apps like Apple Health, activity trackers and smartwatches from Fitbit, Strava, Garmin, and blood pressure cuffs and scales from Withings. For select diabetes devices, Glooko can share glucose, CGM, and manually entered insulin data in Glooko with Apple Health. Glooko Mobile App users also have the ability to manually track physical activity by selecting a variety of sports and exercises built into the platform and note the duration, calories burned, and intensity (light, medium, and hard).
When coupling these apps and manual entry of exercise history with the glucose, insulin, and the nutrition tracking capabilities of Glooko, the physical activity data provides care teams the ability to craft more personalized treatment plans and to see how different activities affect levels.
Once this helpful exercise data is imported into Glooko through a sync or manually,it can be found in a variety of our Glooko platforms, including Summary, Graphs, and History, depending on the data. This section provides key information such as step count, number of exercises, and duration of exercise alongside key data points healthcare providers use to make recommendations about insulin and other medication changes. The data displayed will automatically adjust to reflect the selected date range with visualizations changing based on the type of data.
Syncing Lifestyle Management Data with Glooko
Glooko also supports blood pressure and weight data from compatible blood pressure cuffs and scales from Withings. Bluetooth- and cloud-enabled devices automatically sync with Glooko while readings from non-Bluetooth devices must be manually entered in the Glooko Mobile App to be viewed alongside other health data.
Unlock Deeper Insights by Sharing Health Data with Care Teams
To share data from compatible fitness and health monitoring devices and apps with care teams or use it as a reference, simply ensure the ProConnect Code used by the healthcare team is added.

When healthcare professionals manage a large population of patients with diabetes, they often lack a clear, organized, and comprehensive view of patients’ pertinent health data.
To help address this challenge, we designed the new clinic dashboard in the Glooko diabetes management platform. Available in select countries, the dashboard helps healthcare providers, including primary care providers, endocrinologists, and nurses, at hospitals, health systems, and clinics streamline their diabetes population health management.
Developed for busy healthcare professionals, the new Glooko clinic dashboard is based on TIDE (Timely Interventions for Diabetes Excellence) metrics to help address the challenge of managing a large diabetes patient population. This user-friendly view provides at-a-glance insights into patient population trends and key clinic metrics, making it easier for the entire care team to interpret complex data and guide more efficient decision-making and clinic strategy.
Built on TIDE Metrics for Smarter Diabetes Care
Leveraging evidence-based risk identification logic developed by Stanford researchers to further enhance clinical insights, personalize care, and demonstrate scalable, cost-effective outcomes, the TIDE dashboard, which demonstrated in a 2022 study to reduce screen time for healthcare providers reviewing patient data by 86%, is a powerful tool designed to help clinical teams manage large populations of patients with type 1 diabetes.
The TIDE dashboard uses smart algorithms to analyze and remotely monitor data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, helping care teams efficiently and effectively manage their patients’ health. Using essential glucose measures like Time in Range and hypoglycemia, the TIDE model also prioritizes which patients need immediate attention by sorting them by clinical risk, so healthcare providers can focus on those who need it most without sifting through every patient’s data individually.
The TIDE model-based Glooko clinic dashboard offers our professional users a user-friendly way to tackle the challenge of managing a large patient population with three intuitive sections.
Understand Patient Population At-A-Glance
The Population Metrics section of the new Glooko clinic dashboard helps care teams understand the overall health and engagement of their clinic’s patient population in a centralized and concise view. This space displays the total number of patients with diabetes, identifies who is actively monitoring their blood glucose by blood glucose monitors (BGM) or CGM, and shows which patients have completed their Glooko account registration and are actively syncing their health data remotely with our connected care platform.
By centralizing these metrics, this comprehensive section of the dashboard helps healthcare providers shape clinic strategy more efficiently and better understand which patients to contact to activate their Glooko account to make more informed decisions based on synced health data.
Prioritize Care Based on Key CGM Metrics
The CGM Patient Risk Stratification section of the new Glooko clinic dashboard helps healthcare providers prioritize patient care and gives care teams a streamlined view of their patient population, sorted by clinical risk based on key glucose metrics from CGMs. Care teams can easily spot which patients need attention first. The dashboard ranks patients using indicators like Time in Range, Time Below Range, and other key CGM indicators, so healthcare providers can prioritize outreach and interventions based on the most important CGM data, making it easier for them to focus their time on the patients who need it most.
Boost Patient Engagement and Optimize Care
The Engagement Metrics module of the new Glooko clinic dashboard helps healthcare providers spot engagement gaps in their patient population over the past 90 days.
The Patient Account Status section examines the patient population to see if they’ve set-up their Glooko account based on Activated, Invited Pending, Never Invited, and Likely Duplicates. With these key metrics, care teams can quickly see which patients with diabetes haven’t completed the sync to Glooko with their diabetes and health monitoring devices as well as the activation process, allowing for more efficient follow-up and activation.
In the Sync Methods section, care teams can see how patients with diabetes are syncing their data with Glooko. When more health data is synced with Glooko from the cloud, Glooko Mobile App, Transmitter, or Uploader, care teams can make more informed and timely treatment decisions.

- CGM Patient Risk Stratification: This dashboard, modeled after the Timely Interventions for Diabetes Excellence (TIDE) Dashboard, gives healthcare providers a streamlined view of their patient population, ranked by risk level using key glucose metrics and CGM data only. Care teams can identify risk levels using Time in Range, Time Below Range, and other key CGM indicators to prioritize care.
- Engagement Metrics: This section helps healthcare providers spot engagement gaps within their patient population over the past 90 days and take action to get more patients connected and syncing their devices with Glooko. With more synced health data, care teams can make more informed treatment decisions.
Banner Notification for Missing MRN
Glooko’s connected care platform prioritizes deep EHR integration to bring actionable diabetes data into the systems clinicians already use. To help maintain EHR data integrity and ensure patient matching is seamless, Glooko introduced a clear dismissible banner on the patient dashboard to notify clinicians when a Medical Record Number (MRN) is required but missing.
Tandem Basal Profile Switches
A new icon in DayView and WeekView on the Glooko diabetes management platform identifies when a patient changes their Tandem Personal Profile to give better context for insulin delivery.
GLP-1 Dose Enhancements
GLP-1 doses will now be displayed in the Glooko Web and Mobile software with improved messaging and clinical disclaimers. Healthcare professionals will now receive relevant dose range notifications while also providing precise dose information to support better oversight and patient adherence, while patients will see exact GLP-1 doses up to two decimal places as injected.
Device Type Display in PDFs
Glooko will now display controller device types in the PDF Settings Report, helping clinicians more clearly understand where data originated for users of Omnipod® 5 and other select devices. The report will specifically say on a clear device label the upload method (e.g., Android, iOS, Locked Down Controller) used by the patient.
Updated Insulin Statistics Design
The Glooko Mobile App’s insulin card has been redesigned to enhance clarity and consistency, particularly benefiting users with insulin pump data. This update aims to improve the understanding of insulin averages and minimize confusion between pump and total insulin values by displaying data in one unified insulin card.
