See tidepool.org/devices for a full list of devices compatible with Tidepool Uploader. |
Tidepool Uploader is an installable Mac and PC application that allows end users and clinicians to upload data from supported diabetes devices—insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors and blood glucose meters—to Tidepool accounts.
Diabetes device data that is uploaded through the Tidepool Uploader is parsed and validated based on device drivers written in compliance with the device maker specifications and/or Open standards.
When logged in as a clinician user, Tidepool Uploader presents a user experience tailored to quickly creating and retrieving patient profiles in a clinic. See "Accounts and Data Sharing PermissionsUser account relationships" for more information about clinic-created patient custodial accounts and end-user created accounts.
Tidepool users can export uploaded data in a JSON or Excel (.XLSX) format for external use.
Tidepool is registered with Symantec, McAfee, and Kaspersky though some antivirus programs may complain upon initial installation of the Tidepool Uploader device drivers as Administrator access is required to complete installation.
Tidepool Uploader can be managed and silently installed across a clinic network using automated deployment tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and Active Directory Group Policy
Tidepool Mobile
Tidepool Mobile is a notes app — and companion to Tidepool Web — for iOS and Android that allows users to add context to their diabetes data. iOS users can also use Tidepool Mobile to automatically upload blood glucose, carb, and insulin data from Apple Health. Notes entered into Tidepool Mobile can be viewed by anyone with access to that account, including clinicians, via the Tidepool Web or Tidepool Mobile application.
