Alphabet’s Life Sciences division is partnering with Sanofi to battle diabetes

contact lensEarlier this month we talked about Alphabet’s first new company to oversee, Life Sciences. Life Sciences was, and basically still is, Google’s health company. They are now teaming up with Sanofi, pharmaceutical company which makes diabetes medication, to monitor and treat people with diabetes.

The two companies will develop small devices to monitor statistics and software to make sense of the stats in order to find new treatment options.

Andrew Conrad from Life Sciences says Sanofi has lots of experience with insulin and could help Google build devices to provide dosages, or automatically adjust the medication based on the person’s blood sugar reading.

“Sanofi’s experience making insulin—which controls diabetics’ blood sugar levels—might help Google design smaller, Internet-connected devices that could automatically suggest or adjust insulin dosages in response to blood-sugar readings or doctor-prescribed patient exercise regimes.”
