Infopia America, a manufacturer and distributor of diabetes management products, announced that its new SmartDiabetes product line has launched in 284 Walgreens drug stores in central and northeast Florida. The stores will be the first in the national drug store chain to promote integrated and coordinated management of diabetes with the SmartDiabetes product line between the patient, physician, and pharmacist. SmartDiabetes initiative of diabetes management fosters result sharing and proactive healthcare.

The SmartDiabetes product line features a blood glucose monitor and blood pressure monitor, which are enabled to transmit their results to a HIPPA-compliant server for prompt and accurate provider and caregiver review. The server, which is branded the Test n' Share Network, is powered by the Eocene System, allowing patients to manage their personal health records and electronic log books as well as share them in real-time with their healthcare team. In addition, the “No Coding required” SmartDiabetes Xpres Blood Glucose Monitor is said to offer the fastest testing monitor with the smallest sample size available in the U.S. market.

“At Infopia America, our mission is to improve testing compliance and enhance patient care through increased communication using result sharing technology,” says Bryan Sowards, CEO of Infopia America. “We believe the new affordable SmartDiabetes product line will allow persons with diabetes a way to proactively manage their condition with their healthcare team for better outcomes”.

Walgreens has trained its pharmacists and store managers and will be showcasing the SmartDiabetes line next to the pharmacy on an end cap display. “We are looking forward to enhancing the lives of our customers with diabetes by offering them the SmartDiabetes solution,” says Marlin Hutchens, regional vice president for Walgreens Stores. “We are extremely excited about the impact the SmartDiabetes program will have in creating a stronger consultative relationship between our pharmacists, customers, and their healthcare team. The SmartDiabetes program takes patient care to the next level, and we strongly believe everyone benefits from that.”

Additionally, Mayor Jim Tulley, Jr. of Titusville, FL stated, “Infopia's SmartDiabetes program and its partnership with Walgreens will also benefit the city of Titusville with future job growth.”
