Lilly collaborates internationally with leading diabetes technology companies to integrate connected insulin pen solutions for people with diabetes

Partners offer app compatibility with Tempo Pen™ and Tempo Smart Button™ to help streamline diabetes management through automated data collection for insulin dose tracking

With a goal of integrating data and technology to help streamline diabetes management, Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) signed strategic international agreements with four companies – DexCom, Inc., Glooko Inc., myDiabby Healthcare and Roche – to advance connected solutions and streamline care for people living with diabetes in markets outside of the United States. These companies offer unique diabetes management platforms that will be compatible with Lilly's Tempo Pen^™ (approved in several global markets) and Tempo Smart Button^™ (currently in late-stage development) to support people with diabetes and healthcare professionals.

The Tempo Pen is a modified version of Lilly's existing prefilled, disposable insulin pen to which the Tempo Smart Button – pending CE (Conformité Européenne or European Conformity) marking – attaches. Through these new agreements, the Tempo Smart Button will pair with software and/or medical devices offered by Dexcom, Glooko, myDiabby Healthcare and Roche, with its mySugr app, to facilitate the integration of personalized data and actionable insights.

"We're pleased to work alongside these innovative partners who share our commitment to improving diabetes outcomes by bringing together medicine and digital solutions for the global diabetes community," said Marie Schiller, vice president of product development for Connected Care and Insulins at Lilly. "Insulin dose logging is often an incomplete piece of the diabetes management puzzle for people who use insulin pens and manually track their doses. By integrating data from the connected insulin pen solutions into widely used compatible software, including potential future collaborations, we aim to support improved decision-making for people with diabetes and their healthcare providers with accurate, real-time data collection. These solutions may also help address psychological barriers like fear of hypoglycemia that may negatively impact diabetes management."

Lilly aims to receive CE mark for the Tempo Smart Button later in 2021 and will launch the Tempo Pen and Tempo Smart Button in several international markets following this certification.

"People with diabetes need access to all of the key information about their condition. For those who use insulin pens, tracking how much insulin they delivered and the time of the dose and bringing that information together with glucose data can help them meaningfully improve their management," said Tadej Battelino, Head of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, UCH Professor, at the University of Ljubljana. "These agreements mark a meaningful step towards providing useful tools that help provide real-time guidance and holistic support to ease some of the burdens of living with diabetes."
