Welldoc Submits 510(k) for Bolus and Premixed Insulin Titration Program as Part of BlueStar®

Filing marks ninth 510(k) for digital diabetes solution BlueStar

Columbia, MD – December 14, 2020 – Welldoc®, a trailblazer in digital health that is revolutionizing chronic disease management to help transform lives, today announced the filing of its ninth 510(k) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BlueStar, an FDA-cleared digital health solution for diabetes. With the filing, BlueStar looks to add bolus and premixed insulin titration for type 2 diabetes to its comprehensive diabetes platform. In June, Welldoc announced FDA clearance for the BlueStar Insulin Adjustment Program for basal insulin titration. This current submission would expand insulin dosing support to include most types of insulin. The 510(k) was submitted on Nov 23, 2020.

“Dosing insulin is challenging for both patients and clinicians,” said Welldoc Chief Medical Officer Mansur Shomali, MD, CM. “By going digital, our new bolus and premixed insulin titration program goes beyond the pencil and paper processes we traditionally have relied upon to make the process of adjusting insulin easier and safer.”
