SALEM, N.H., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Diabetes? There’s an app for that.

“Leveraging mobile technology to deliver better patient care is a major trend in the making and has the potential to transform the management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes,” says Dr. Irl Hirsch, an internationally recognized diabetes specialist and Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington. “With the launch of the WaveSense Diabetes Manager, WaveSense is setting the bar in the new disease management paradigm with a combination of an extensive feature set and very intuitive user interface. I’m eagerly awaiting their pipeline of products which will no doubt be cutting-edge and first-in-category.”
“I’ve been involved with the development of several apps for the App Store, and am impressed with this medical app’s outstanding utility and thoughtful design. I’m personally excited by the app because it affects me on a more personal level since my grandfather suffers from diabetes,” says Benjamin Satterfield, CEO of 23 Divide and creator of Gigotron (www.gigotron.com), most recently known for garnering the Best Mobile App Award at the South by Southwest Interactive Web Awards.
