Welldoc Submits 510(k) to FDA for CGM-Informed Glucose Prediction Feature
Welldoc Builds on its Foundation of 11 Prior FDA 510(k) Clearances with a Generative AI Model Submission
COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Welldoc®, a leader in AI-powered cardiometabolic health solutions, today announced the submission of a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)-Informed Glucose Prediction Feature. This submission builds on the company's foundation of 11 FDA 510(k) clearances for type 1 and type 2 diabetes capabilities.
The software feature predicts glucose values up to 2 hours for individuals with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin. The CGM-informed Glucose Prediction Feature may help increase awareness of future glucose levels, while providing personalized, lifestyle-focused coaching messages designed to empower proactive self-care.
Approximately 80% of the 38 million Americans living with diabetes do not require insulin therapy and manage their condition through diet, exercise, and non-insulin medications.1,2 This segment is seeing a significant rise in CGM adoption as individuals increasingly seek real-time biological feedback to guide their health journeys.3 However, despite comprising the largest segment of the diabetes population, these individuals often lack the predictive tools necessary to turn that data into proactive self-care.4
“For millions of individuals with type 2 diabetes who manage their condition without insulin, the challenge has always been knowing what’s coming next,” said Kevin McRaith, President & CEO of Welldoc. “This capability is designed to shift the user experience from reactive data review to proactive self-care.”
Richard Bergenstal, MD, Executive Director of the International Diabetes Center at HealthPartners Institute Park Nicollet, added, “An important evolution in diabetes management lies in real-time, predictive intelligence. Welldoc is applying CGM trend data to provide a personalized, two-hour glucose prediction window for a broad population. This offers a new opportunity to transform how type 2 diabetes is managed while supporting the potential for optimized engagement and improved clinical outcomes.”
With this submission, Welldoc continues its commitment to advancing digital health innovation for people living with chronic and cardiometabolic conditions.
