An insulin pump on day one of diagnosis

We’re developing an insulin pump with wrap-around software services to prescribe after one day, not one year.

Our Mission

  • Insulin pump on day one.

    We believe that current insulin pumps are too complicated, worsening the equity gap to the best standard of care. What if a pump is so easy to use that it could be given to anyone who wants one?

  • The best software support

    Tech features can only get you so far. Without personalised support and education that works for both patient and clinicians, the tech won’t reach the hands that need them.

Living with diabetes can be demanding! 

The current landscape of diabetes management presents significant challenges for the 115 million people globally living with diabetes, with limited access to insulin pump therapy posing a substantial barrier for patients, especially those in lower socioeconomic groups.

Clinician burden and capacity constraints exacerbate the problem, leading to delayed initiation of pump training, primarily due to the complexity of technology and requirements. These delays not only hinder optimal diabetes management but also incur significant cost inefficiencies and healthcare expenditures.
