What Physicians Need to Know

Key Capabilities
AI-powered 8-hour glucose forecasts (90%+ accuracy for Type 2 diabetes) and predictive insights for CGM users. Bluetooth-connected glucometer (One Drop Chrome) automatically syncs readings to a mobile app. In-app coaching from Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs). Comprehensive logging for blood glucose, medications, food, and activity. Features a food library with barcode scanner and medication scheduler. Developing a minimally invasive continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor.
Clinical Utility
Demonstrated to significantly reduce estimated HbA1c levels (e.g., 0.80% in T1D over 3 months, 1.36% in T1D/T2D over 4 months) and average blood glucose. Increases patient engagement with more frequent blood glucose logging and improved time in target range. AI forecasts aim to reduce cognitive burden and promote self-care behaviors, potentially preventing diabetes complications.
Integration Options
Seamless integration with Apple HealthKit and Google Fit for activity data and other health metrics. Connects with various diabetes and fitness devices (e.g., Fitbit, Dexcom, Companion Medical's InPen). Offers Apple Health Records and Siri Shortcuts for enhanced iOS functionality. The One Drop Chrome meter wirelessly transmits data to the app via Bluetooth.
Compliance Status
The One Drop Chrome Blood Glucose Monitoring system holds U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and CE Mark approval (EU). Its AI-powered glucose prediction engine has European approval for Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. A proprietary continuous glucose sensing device is currently in development and subject to regulatory approval.
Pricing Model
Offers a 'Premium' subscription service providing unlimited test strips and 24/7 in-app CDE support for a monthly fee (e.g., $39.95/month or less without insurance). Operates on a direct-to-consumer model, allowing purchase via credit card or FSA card without requiring insurance or prescriptions for supplies. The One Drop Chrome meter can be purchased separately.
User Experience
Available on iOS, Apple Watch, and Android, featuring an intuitive design. The Bluetooth-enabled meter automatically syncs readings, minimizing manual data entry. In-app coaching provides timely responses (typically within 12-24 hours). The app supports multiple languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic), with coaching currently in English. Rated among top diabetes apps, with 94% of Premium members finding glucose forecasts helpful.
Support Quality
Provides 24/7 in-app support from Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) who offer personalized guidance and education. CDEs are responsive, typically answering questions within 12-24 hours. Includes a structured 9-week in-app diabetes education program.
Implementation Complexity
Designed for straightforward direct-to-consumer setup and use by individuals. Bluetooth connectivity and existing integrations with major health platforms (Apple HealthKit, Google Fit) simplify data collection for patients. For healthcare professionals, integrating patient-generated data into EHRs may require specific institutional workflows, though patient sharing features exist.
Evidence Base
Supported by over 60 peer-reviewed clinical studies, publications, and presentations. Randomized controlled trials demonstrate significant HbA1c reductions. Retrospective studies show improved glycemic control and increased engagement. AI models for glucose predictions are trained on billions of data points, exhibiting high accuracy for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Associated with estimated annual cost savings per person.
Physician Tip

One Drop offers AI-powered insights and CDE coaching that can significantly augment traditional diabetes management. Its robust integration with various health devices provides a holistic view of patient data, aiding in personalized care plans. The strong evidence base, including randomized controlled trials demonstrating HbA1c reduction, supports its clinical efficacy for improving glycemic control. Consider recommending One Drop to patients who are digitally engaged, motivated by personalized coaching, and could benefit from predictive insights, especially those facing challenges with consistent self-monitoring or access to frequent in-person education. The direct-to-consumer model with unlimited test strips can also help overcome cost and access barriers for many individuals. While the app provides patient-facing forecasts, clinicians should continue to provide overarching guidance and interpret data within the context of the patient's full clinical picture.

One Drop excels in its ability to aggregate data from a wide ecosystem of health and fitness devices. It leverages Apple HealthKit and Google Fit to pull in activity data, continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings from devices like Dexcom, and other health metrics. The One Drop Chrome meter seamlessly transmits blood glucose readings via Bluetooth to the app. For healthcare providers, patients subscribed to One Drop | Experts can grant permission for their coach to view vitals, labs, and medications shared to Apple Health Records, facilitating remote monitoring. While direct, universal EHR integration for professional use may vary by institution, the platform's comprehensive data collection and sharing capabilities through patient-controlled health records offer valuable insights for care coordination. Future developments include a proprietary minimally invasive CGM sensor, which will further enhance its integrated data capabilities upon regulatory approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

One Drop utilizes AI to provide users with 8-hour glucose forecasts, which have demonstrated over 90% accuracy in predicting hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. This AI-powered feature offers personalized insights and real-time behavioral advice, aiming to reduce the cognitive burden of diabetes management and encourage proactive self-care.
The One Drop app and its data handling are designed to be HIPAA-compliant, protecting individually identifiable health information. While HIPAA mandates safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI), physicians should be aware of potential regulatory gaps concerning data generated by CGM manufacturers if not directly held by a covered entity.
The One Drop system is not intended for the diagnosis or screening of diabetes, nor for use in neonates, or patients who are dehydrated, hypotensive, in shock, critically ill, or in a hyperosmolar state. It should also not be used for individuals undergoing oxygen therapy, or for testing arterial, venous, or non-fingertip blood samples.
One Drop offers a Premium service that includes unlimited test strips and 24/7 in-app Certified Diabetes Educator support for a monthly subscription fee, often around $39.95, without requiring insurance or a prescription. This direct-to-consumer model can make it more accessible and potentially less expensive than traditional insurance co-pays for some patients, with a starter kit typically costing around $99.
Primary alternatives include other traditional blood glucose meters (BGMs) and various Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems such as FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom, Eversense, and Medtronic MiniMed. One Drop's app can integrate glucose data from devices and apps like Dexcom, Fitbit, and Apple Health, and it is also developing its own minimally invasive CGM.
The reliability and accuracy of blood glucose readings can be affected by factors such as application errors, extreme environmental conditions, extreme hematocrit values, and certain medication interferences. While One Drop's AI predictions show high accuracy, the overall accuracy range for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring can vary widely depending on the models and input data used.
