Mountain View, CA-iHealth has launched a glucose monitor for iPhone and Android smartphones. According to the company, iHealth Align is the world’s smallest and most portable mobile glucometer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved device retails for $16.95. The user inserts a test strip into the small, teardrop-shaped device that plugs directly into a smartphone. Using the free iHealth Gluco-Smart app, users can log their glucose measurements and view trends and statistics over the span of seven, 14, 30, or 90 days.

The app can also set up reminders for medication, record insulin doses and pre/post meals or fasting, and keeps track of the quantity of test strips and their expiration date-which the company says it sells at or below the typical insurance co-pay contribution.
