How Tidepool Loop works

What is Tidepool Loop?
The Tidepool Loop app is a hybrid closed-loop system built directly for smartphones and smartwatches. When used together with compatible medical devices, Tidepool Loop works to automatically control the insulin pump to increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on CGM readings and predicted glucose values, with the goal of keeping the user’s glucose levels within a user-configurable Correction Range.

In this webinar, we dig into what Tidepool Loop takes into account and how it works to keep users in their target correction range.
