The device also features Bluetooth connectivity and can be paired with the brand's [Patterns app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abbott-libre-app). Once connected, users can check their real-time glucose data on their mobile phones. In addition, the app allows patients to send their data directly to their healthcare providers. “POGO Automatic only requires the press of a button to test and no need to access separate supplies, like test strips and lancets, so testing is less disruptive to a user's everyday life," said the CEO of [Intuity Medical](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-glucose-monitoring-system), Emory Anderson.
