LinkBluCon is Ambrosia’s mobile App which works along with NightRider BluCon to enable Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) on a patient’s mobile phone — iPhone or Android phone.
Connecting NightRider BluCon to LinkBluCon App:
NightRider BluCon needs to be connected to the LinkBluCon app in order to receive glucose readings every 5 minutes on the user’s mobile phone.
To connect, first, the user needs to register himself with the Link BluCon app. This ensures all his data is saved on the server and hence easily recoverable, anytime, anywhere. If the user does not want to share this data with any one and is willing to take the risk of losing all his data, he may skip the registration process. Once registration is complete and the user is on the Connect BluCon screen, he needs to turn ON the NightRider by pressing the small switch inside a hole on top of the NightRider with a pin. Once switched on, a RED light will flash for a split second, indicating the NightRider is ON. If the light does not flash, that means the NightRider is turned OFF.
LinkBluCon app is also available on Android and Apple watches.
The watches can directly connect to
NightRider BluCon and display trends from NightRider
without the need of a Phone.
