Put the shiny distractions away for a moment. We have an announcement: Believe it or not, there is a healthier way to use technology. We’re talking about tech that gives you a deeper understanding of your health, more control over it and a faster connection to support when you need it. We’ve designed next-gen diagnostic tests, biowearables and connected devices for the most important job of all — helping you live on your terms.
Innovating so that more people can take control of their health.
How can you get deeper insights into your health? By going below the surface. And that’s what our biowearables do. A tiny flexible filament — only the width of about three human hairs — picks up crucial real-time data about your glucose levels and sends it directly to your smartphone. Small tech, big impact.
“Biowearables can help by giving you real-time insights to understand how your body is reacting to your food choices, your exercise habits, and other changes you make.”
Pam Bede, MS, RD
Nutritionist and Senior Manager
of Medical Affairs, Abbott
Sometimes it feels like there’s no “you” in healthcare. But connected health tech is changing that: Delivering data and support that is personalized. Keeping your doctors updated in real time. And, in some cases, giving them the ability to adjust treatment virtually rather than in person.
“We knew that changing the paradigm and placing control in patients’ hands was important. Equally important was making things more convenient for the doctors.”
Ryan Lakin
Divisional vice president,
digital solutions, Abbott Medical Devices
Translating what’s going on in the body is a tough task to begin with. Never mind that you don’t want to put everything else on hold to figure it out. Our next-generation diagnostics do the job right — providing quick answers wherever you happen to be.
“Quickly evaluating a brain injury is critical for doctors to recommend appropriate treatment and prevent further injury. But you can’t treat what you don’t know.”
Dr. Beth McQuiston
Neurologist and medical director, Abbott
