Dexcom Adds “Hey Siri, what’s my glucose?" and MORE!
Scott Benner
DEXCOM G6 MOBILE APP version 1.4.0 released!
NEW IN THE DEXCOM G6 MOBILE APP:
“Hey Siri, what’s my glucose?”* – iOS device users will now be able to ask Siri to read Dexcom glucose readings aloud and display graphs directly on the lock screen, eliminating the process of unlocking the phone and manually opening the Dexcom app; the launch of virtual assistant integration is a first-of-its-kind innovation in CGM
More followers** – Expanded Share function, allowing users to share glucose readings directly with up to ten people, versus five in the previous version; this update is critical for pediatric patients and others who rely heavily on their family and diabetes support network to help manage their disease
24-hour sensor expiration reminders – Automatically receive a 24-hour reminder before it’s time to replace a sensor, in addition to 2-hour and 6-hour reminders
CLARITY app right at your fingertips – Launch the Dexcom CLARITY app directly from the Dexcom G6 app for more retrospective glucose reports. If a customer does not yet have CLARITY, they will be taken to the App Store to download and install the app
Submit technical support inquiries – Submit technical inquiries through a browser launched through the app, versus the auto-populated email in the previous version
Apple Watch Series 4 face complication – iOS device users are offered a new Graphic Circular complication specifically for the Apple Watch Series 41
Integration with Google Fit – Android device users will have a new integration with Google Fit to display Dexcom CGM data on a 3-hour delay
Dexcom users can download the app update today from the iOS App Store and it will be available for download soon on Google Play. For more information on Dexcom G6®, please visit my link.
