Tidepool Launches in Epic Showroom to Bring Diabetes Device Data into the Point of Care

Empowering clinicians with interactive, actionable diabetes data so they can focus on the patient, not the workflow

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tidepool, the nonprofit leader advancing innovation in diabetes technology, announced that Tidepool+ Direct Connect is now available through the Epic Showroom. Built on SMART on FHIR, Direct Connect brings interactive diabetes device data directly into Epic workflows, helping clinicians use patient data during routine care.

Every day, clinicians caring for people living with diabetes review device data, identify patterns, and translate that information into meaningful conversations during brief clinical visits. Cumbersome technology and data access processes distract from the clinician-patient relationship. Tidepool+ Direct Connect is designed to reduce the burden of bringing device data, along with relevant insights, into the clinical workflow where decisions are made.

With Direct Connect, clinicians can launch Tidepool+ from inside Epic with a single click and evaluate the patient’s data in interactive, dynamic Tidepool views without leaving the Epic environment. Insights can be reviewed in context and incorporated into clinical documentation, reducing potentially error-prone manual steps during visits.

“Tidepool has always focused on making diabetes data more accessible and actionable,” said Brandon Arbiter, CEO. “We’re excited to empower clinicians using Epic with insightful, intuitive patient data that fits directly into their encounter workflow so they can use it to improve care in the moment it matters.”

Tidepool+ Direct Connect supports scalable deployment across Epic-enabled health systems. This architecture enables faster, more intuitive rollouts, enhancing Tidepool’s existing EHR integration capabilities.

Direct Connect is part of Tidepool’s ongoing work to improve how clinicians can use timely and relevant diabetes device data during patient visits to help drive better health outcomes.

The feature is now available in the Connection Hub of the Epic Showroom.
