"With FDA clearance for Insulin Dose Adjustment, it will simplify insulin dosing for healthcare providers," said Sidney Chan CEO of ALR Technologies. "First, it makes it easy for healthcare providers to titrate insulin dosing for new insulin patients. Second, it will help healthcare providers to prescribe optimal dose(s) for patients on insulin, addressing the so called 'insulin glass ceiling'. IDA is designed to ensure that patients get an effective and timely dose based on accurate data about their specific needs," said Chan. Insulin manufacturer Novo Nordisk estimates that morbidity and mortality rates resulting from medication errors add an estimated $1,900 per patient to total U.S. health care costs and remember, about half of that is mistakes with insulin.1
