MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- STATEMENT FROM GLOOKO RE: COVID-19 SERVICE

Throughout this challenging time of the COVID-19 pandemic, Glooko, a leading 
diabetes software company that enables people with diabetes and clinicians to 
manage care in real-time, is committed to helping ensure the health and

community by providing a no-charge remote-care solution that provides live 
patient-to-clinician connectivity.

As many efforts undertaken in our communities are aimed at reducing the chances 
of being exposed to and spreading COVID-19, individuals who have chronic 
conditions like diabetes and contract the virus appear to be at a higher risk 
for developing complications; as such limiting exposure is critical. For 
certain appointments, healthcare professionals may determine that the patient 
and their care team would be best served by a remote review of the patient's 
personal diabetes data and a corresponding telehealth consult, reserving 
in-office visits only for those appointments where a patient's medical status 
truly requires in-person treatment.

To minimize the risk to people with diabetes during this time by broadening 
access to remote medical appointments with healthcare providers, Glooko is 
offering its secure, privacy-protected remote-care solution at no charge to 
medical clinics and people with diabetes as a public service until the greatest 
threat of the pandemic has subsided. 

This public service is being made available to medical clinics and people with 
diabetes in countries where Glooko technology is already provided.  Interested 
medical clinics and people with diabetes can learn more about how to access the 
Glooko remote-care solution at www.glooko.com.
