GlucoTab® clinical evaluation of 99 patients across 4 different wards at the University Hospital of Graz:

Effectiveness: 72.5% of all blood sugar measurements were within target range. This is superior to standard care and equivalent to current best-practice studies.

Safety: The risk of hypoglycaemia is not increased in comparison to current best-practice studies (no serious hypoglycaemic events; only 1.8% of all blood sugar levels <70 mg/dl).

Acceptance and provider adherence: >95% of all planned work steps were carried out using the system, and suggested insulin doses were accepted in >95% of all cases.
