The national education-based tour features the Ever Mobile
Clinic, a mobile educational facility custom-built within a
semi-truck to accommodate the education and training of healthcare
professionals and patients in the use of the company’s recently
approved Eversense® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. The
Ever Mobile Clinic was previewed last week at the American Diabetes
Association, and in July, Senseonics will kick off the mobile
clinic’s national tour bringing education and training to major
markets across the United States.
The modern multifunctional Ever Mobile Clinic houses a video
theatre, two hands-on demonstration stations and procedure room.
The mobile clinic delivers hands-on immersive product demonstration
and hands-on training directly to local healthcare professionals
and patients in cities across the country.
“The mobile clinic is an innovative forum to deliver physician
and patient education on the merits of CGM, including potentially
modules in using data to optimize individual therapeutic outcomes,”
says Richard Bergenstal, MD, Executive Director at the
International Diabetes Center. “A traveling semi-truck outfitted
with the right tools and program is a new way to bring these
educational opportunities to local communities.”
The Ever Mobile Clinic Tour will visit conferences, health care
groups, health care systems and community events, and is staffed
with qualified trainers who offer product and sensor procedure
training and relevant information on diabetes and glucose
monitoring.
Senseonics’ application to market the Eversense® CGM System for
use by people with diabetes was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration on June 21, 2018. The Eversense System is the first
and only CGM system to feature an implantable glucose sensor and
provide long-term continuous monitoring for up to three months.
“We believe the Eversense System offers unique features that
will help open up CGM to millions of people with diabetes who
currently are not taking advantage of its benefits,” said Tim
Goodnow, President and CEO of Senseonics. “And just as important as
it is to bring to market innovative device technology that better
fits patients’ lives, it's equally important that we’re innovative
about how we bring training in the use of the product to patients
and their physicians. It has to fit their work and personal lives,
and so this is just a new and additional option for training and
education to supplement our in-office, online and other training
efforts.”
