Insights
The launch of full iPhone compatibility for Omnipod 5 represents a significant competitive advantage in the insulin pump market. This development eliminates the need for a separate controller device, substantially improving the user experience and reducing device burden - a important factor for diabetes management compliance. The integration of Custom Foods feature and SmartBolus Calculator demonstrates meaningful innovation in user interface design.
The market impact is notable as Omnipod 5 is already the #1 prescribed pump in the U.S. This advancement should help maintain market leadership and potentially accelerate adoption rates, particularly among tech-savvy patients. The planned Dexcom G7 CGM compatibility in 2025 indicates a strong product roadmap. With full smartphone control being the most requested feature, this release directly addresses customer demands and strengthens Insulet's market position against competitors like Tandem and Medtronic.
This product enhancement strengthens Insulet's market leadership in the $7+ billion insulin pump market. Being first-to-market with full iPhone control creates a significant differentiator, especially considering Omnipod 5's unique position as the only tubeless automated insulin delivery system. The timing is strategic, coming when the diabetes tech sector is seeing increased adoption of connected devices.
The expansion to both Android and iPhone platforms maximizes the addressable market, while the FDA clearance for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients provides substantial growth potential. This development should positively impact patient acquisition and retention rates, supporting Insulet's premium market position and potentially driving higher revenue per patient through improved adherence.
- Insulet is the first and only company to offer a tubeless automated insulin delivery (AID) system with full control from a compatible iPhone or Android™ phone
- Provides more choice and added convenience for Omnipod 5 users
Now available to download for free on the Apple App Store, the App allows users to fully control their Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5) from their compatible iPhone1. For example, users can bolus for a meal, change a Pod, and adjust settings. Importantly, this also means that Omnipod 5 users who have a compatible iPhone no longer need to carry a separate Controller to help manage their insulin delivery requirements.
“Diabetes is complicated, but managing it doesn’t have to be,” said Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone gives people with diabetes more choices and simplifies their daily routine. Using your own mobile phone also makes diabetes management more convenient. That’s a winning combination and is why we are thrilled to bring this much-anticipated innovation to our customers.” Mr. Benjamin noted that the App for iPhone has been the number one feature requested by Omnipod 5 users.
The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone offers unique capabilities, such as a Custom Foods feature that allows users to input, save, and list carbohydrate counts for their typical meal sizes, favorite foods, and snacks. Users can select from their personalized list of foods when using the SmartBolus Calculator to determine how much insulin to receive for a meal, thus minimizing carb counting and simplifying mealtime math.
Designed and repeatedly tested with Omnipod 5 users to deliver meaningful improvements over their experience with a Controller, the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone has an intuitive user interface that includes real time glucose information directly on the home screen.
“For the past two and a half years, I’ve been able to experience the life-changing benefits of the Omnipod 5 System. The only missing piece was compatibility with my iPhone,” said Lauren Bongiorno, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 24 years. “Now that I don’t have to carry around my Controller, the freedom and flexibility I’ve experienced every day has further increased. The App and all the new features have made routine moments like going to the gym, eating out, and being on the go so much simpler.” Ms. Bongiorno, a sponsored Omnipod 5 user, was part of a group that participated in the limited market release of the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone.
The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone is currently compatible with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and is expected to be compatible with the Dexcom G7 CGM in the
