Dexcom Unveils AI-Powered Meal Logging Feature for Stelo and Dexcom G7 to Simplify Diabetes Management
DexCom, Inc., a global leader in glucose biosensing, has introduced a new AI-powered photo meal logging feature called Smart Food Logging across its glucose biosensing portfolio. This feature, which was first launched on the Dexcom G7 earlier this year, is now available on Stelo, the first over-the-counter glucose biosensor cleared by the FDA in the United States. The Smart Food Logging feature aims to simplify and encourage more consistent meal tracking for users. With the update, Stelo and Dexcom G7 users can now take a photo of their food within the app, and the AI will automatically recognize the ingredients and populate the meal description. The Dexcom G7 is the only prescription continuous glucose monitor in the U.S. to support this functionality. Jake Leach, president and chief operating officer at Dexcom, said, “Diet plays a crucial role in managing glucose levels, and our new Smart Food Logging feature removes barriers to food tracking, making it easier to consistently log and understand the impact of meals. This feature has been a highly requested addition from users across our product lines, and we’re excited to bring it to market, hoping it makes managing glucose levels even simpler.” This latest innovation underscores DexCom’s ongoing commitment to leveraging AI to enhance user experience and health outcomes. The feature joins several other recent advancements in its glucose biosensing lineup, including: Weekly Insights in Stelo: The first generative AI feature for the Stelo platform, offering users personalized tips, recommendations, and educational content related to diet, exercise, and sleep, all tailored within the Stelo app. Stelo integration with Oura: The first integration of glucose biosensing data into the Oura app, allowing users to view a comprehensive overview of their biometrics, including glucose, alongside other health metrics. This integration helps users better understand how their daily health behaviors impact their metabolic well-being. Customizable target range in Dexcom G7: A new feature that allows users to adjust their glucose target ranges within the Clarity Card of the Dexcom G7 app, beyond default settings, enabling a more personalized approach for different user groups. Glucose Impact in Dexcom G7 and Stelo: This feature provides a focused view of logged health events, helping users see a clearer picture of how meals, activities, and sleep patterns influence their glucose levels. Users of Stelo and Dexcom G7 can access the Smart Food Logging feature by updating to the latest version of the app on iOS and Android platforms. DexCom has been at the forefront of glucose biosensing technology since its founding in 1999. Over the past 25 years, the company has pioneered advancements that have transformed how people manage diabetes and monitor their glucose levels, giving them greater control and confidence in their health.
