2018-2019 Innovation Challenge

Living with diabetes is a burden, both for newer patients — who may feel overwhelmed by the high degree of self-care needed — and for experienced patients — who may, understandably, grow tired of managing their condition and become less engaged over time. We believe that by seamlessly measuring, tracking and sharing health data, we can enable a better dialogue between patients and their physicians or caregivers and create a more holistic picture of health, helping make self-care easier for those living with diabetes and, ultimately, leading to clinically actionable insights and better health outcomes.

We are seeking novel ideas and bold solutions, developed using data from our marketed pen injectors, that deliver holistic and integrated care to improve and optimize diabetes management. In partnership with the healthcare innovation community, we are interested in exploring, designing and co-developing solutions that will enhance patient experience, empower patients to improve their self-care to achieve a sense of normalcy, and enable smarter, more efficient management of diabetes.
