New app aims to bring Real-Time diabetes data to hospital dashboards
NCT ID NCT06899503
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a companion mobile app that wirelessly collects real-time glucose readings from Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) used by children with diabetes in the hospital. The app sends the data to a central hospital database, making it accessible to care teams via a web dashboard. Researchers will check if the app captures glucose readings accurately and efficiently compared to the official Dexcom database.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this system could make it easier for doctors and researchers to see real-time glucose data, potentially improving diabetes management in hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study focused on data accuracy, not a treatment. The app may not work perfectly in all situations, and findings may not apply to other hospitals.
