YARKONA, Israel and OSLO, Norway, April 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital diabetes platform provider GlucoMe and Norwegian electronic medical record (EMR) company DiaMan AS announced today the market launch of the GlucoMe digital diabetes care solution in Central America. GlucoMe's solution will initially be introduced in Guatemala, Panama and Dominican Republic, thereafter in, Costa Rica and Nicaragua and then followed by the rest of Central America.

DiaMan expects to reach a total of 70,000 users in two to three years in the Central American countries, working closely with hospitals and other institutions in the region.
DiaMan CEO Mr. Ove T. Aasen said, "We are very enthusiastic to partner with GlucoMe in Central America, where there is a huge unmet need for diabetes care and an interest in filling this need using innovative solutions like GlucoMe's. Their platform perfectly complements our diabetes-related electronic medical records solution. The initial response to the GlucoMe solution has been extremely positive. We are already filling the first purchase order and anticipate many more to come."
"The agreement with DiaMan is latest step in our world rollout of the GlucoMe digital diabetes management solution. Today's news follows our introduction of the solution in India in partnership with Apollo Sugar. We are delighted to work with DiaMan and all of our valued partners to help further modernize the treatment of diabetes worldwide," said GlucoMe CEO Mr. Yiftah Ben-Aharon.
The GlucoMe solution simplifies diabetes management and lessens the burden of diabetes monitoring for medical teams and patients. It makes it easier for diabetes clinics to provide more efficient and when necessary, immediate care, by enabling digital and/or face-to-face intervention for the right patients at the right time, based on real-time information, timely alerts and continuous communication. GlucoMe's solution helps medical teams treat up to 10X more patients than using standard face-to-face meetings. For patients, it reinforces vital self-care behavior, with less overhead and greater insights.

Our services complement each other to fill a vast and clearly unmet need in this region as well as create a win-win situation for all – patient, physician and management alike," said Mr. Ofer Asif, EVP Sales & Business Development at GlucoMe.
