🎉🎉🎉 Publication Announcement 🎉🎉🎉 The preclinical results of SMARTFUSION™, our insulin pump infusion failure detection algorithm, have been published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology Diabetes Technology Society (DTS)! Some key findings: ✅ Increased detection accuracy with low false positive and negative rates ✅ Immediate detection of infusion failures without hyperglycemia ✅ Utilization of data directly sourced from onboard insulin pump sensors We are excited to now move towards clinical testing and compatibility with on-market insulin pumps! Many thanks to our collaborators Dr. Michael Hughes and Dr. Rayhan Lal at Stanford University, as well as our great team of advisors Marzia Cescon, Jasmin Kastner, Pernelle Kruse Schøndorff, and all others who contributed to this research. We greatly thank our funding partners at JDRF International, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and the Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics.

Personalizing Insulin Delivery for People with Diabetes
About us
Diatech Diabetes, Inc. develops innovative solutions that empower the lives of patients, families, and communities impacted by diabetes. Having originated from the issues our founders faced with their own diabetes care technology, Diatech Diabetes is inspired to work endlessly towards optimizing therapies for patients worldwide. Current insulin pump infusion sets and occlusion alarms can compromise the health of a person with diabetes during insulin pump failures. These failures range from blocks, leaks, and infusing into damaged tissue affected by lipohypertrophy that may prevent insulin from being absorbed into the body. Diatech Diabetes is developing SMARTFUSION™, a software platform for insulin pumps that monitors insulin delivery for accuracy and infusion set failure. When SMARTFUSION™'s software is integrated into an insulin pump system, its algorithm uses data from the pump, continuous glucose monitor, and patient to monitor the success of daily insulin dosages. SMARTFUSION™’s features will include: - Alerts to other malfunctions such as leaks and improper insertion - Reviewable data on how infusion performance/habits affect diabetes control - Instant infusion failure alerts to connected devices - Custom settings to prevent alarm fatigue - Infusion set wear time recommendations - Personalized tips for healthy infusion based on habits These features could allow insulin pump users to know the exact time at which their infusion set needs to be changed and when infusion accuracy is lost to avoid potentially life-threatening blood sugar. For healthcare providers, SMARTFUSION™ allows for the collection of data related to infusion site health and characterizing malfunctions for each of their patients. This data could be uploaded through diabetes management platforms during check-ups and assist providers with ensuring their patients are accurately using insulin pump technology. SMARTFUSION™ is Not Currently Proven for Human Use.

Our team had an amazing time as guest speakers at the 2024 ACC InVenture Prize Competition held at our very own alma mater Florida State University and Florida State University - Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship! We had the opportunity to share our own startup journey (all the highs and lows) with emerging businesses leaders in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Thank you Ken Baldauf, Britain Dwyre Riley, and Dr. Susan Fiorito for creating a space that connected us with so many collegiate entrepreneurs who sat in the same seats we were in not so long ago. Fun fact: pictured in the last image is the very first pitch of Diatech Diabetes, Inc. given 6 years ago in the exact same spot we stood this past week! #FSU #ACC #innovation #startupgrowth #inventureprize #diabetescare #diabetestechnology

Calling all diabetes healthcare providers! Check out this survey opportunity by our very own. Good work, John!
I have had an incredible experience completing a Master of Science degree in Diabetes Education and Management under the direction of Jane K. Dickinson, RN, PhD, CDCES at Columbia University. We are surveying diabetes healthcare providers about their experiences with diabetes technology education. If you are a healthcare provider who cares for people with diabetes, we would greatly appreciate you participating in our quick anonymous online survey! Please use the link below to complete (5-7 minutes long): https://lnkd.in/ezb-ZAqu Thank you in advance for your participation and helping us better understand how to improve diabetes technology education! We appreciate you sharing this post with your networks if able! #diabetestechnology #education #diabeteshealthcareproviders #diabetescare

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay and we would like to raise awareness about how #diabetes impacts our global community! According to the International Diabetes Federation, 1 out of 2 people with diabetes are unaware they have the condition, equivalent to ~240 million people living with undiagnosed diabetes [1]. Not knowing a diabetes diagnosis can be life threatening. We join Beyond Type 1 in their #SeeTheSigns and #VeLasSeñales campaign to increase visibility of the common signs of a diabetes diagnosis. Be vigilant of these signs to prevent undiagnosed diabetes! #diabetescare #internationaldiabetescare #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #GestationalDiabetes #LatentAutoimmuneDiabetesofAdults #MaturityOnsetDiabetesoftheYoung #diabetescommunity #diabetesawarenessmonth [1] https://lnkd.in/g2hSjsi4

Our team had the opportunity to speak with Drs. Jeff Cole, MD and Jeffrey Brown about our company's work! Be sure to listen in to the Merge Medical podcast to hear about our venture and future plans as we move into 2024. #mergemedical #diabetestechnology #diabetescare #innovationinhealthcare
Diatech Diabetes: Merge Medical Podcasts #17 & 18 are LIVE. Diatech’s SmartFusion™ is an infusion set failure detection system that uses real time data analysis and machine learning to detect medication infusion pump failures. If the NIH, JDRF (juvenile diabetes research foundation) and StartUp Health have given them the nod through funding...should Diatech Diabetes be on your radar? We think so.
