At this year’s ADA scientific session at Moscone Center in San Francisco, Medtronic Diabetes unveiled its new M-POWERED car, a Lincoln sedan equipped with a system that wirelessly incorporates a patient’s continuous glucose monitor with a dashboard to make driving safer for those who can go from 120 to 60 mg/dl within a matter of seconds.
From the statement issued to Medgadget by a company rep:
Medtronic Diabetes unveiled its new M-POWERED concept car at this year’s American Diabetes Association (ADA) annual meeting in San Francisco, June 6-10. The M-POWERED concept car would allow a person with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device to receive readings of their blood sugar through both audio and visual cues from the car’s dashboard.
