## What is HealthGear?

HealthGear is about making simple, intuitive apps to help you stay on top of your condition with ease and continue living life to its fullest.

Written in New Zealand by diabetics for diabetics, both type 1 and type 2, the HealthGear Diabetes application helps you manage your diabetes by tracking crucial information such as: blood glucose, insulin, ketones, weight, food, exercise etc. Using this information the HealthGear Diabetes application can show you insights relating to your glucose control thereby helping you manage your diabetes. The information is stored using HealthKit where possible allowing readings taken in the HealthGear application to be shared with other applications on your iPhone and vice versa. 

Using CareKit the HealthGear application can also help manage taking medications and activities so that you can stay on top of your every day health and activity requirements.

A vital part of managing your blood glucose is the recording of the carbohydrates you eat. The application includes a database of common foods along with their nutrition information. In addition you can add any food or meals that you commonly eat that are not included. This information can be used to track food intake along with the corresponding carbohydrates and energy. This helps you when working out how much insulin to take.

The Readings screen lets you see your condition over various periods of time and can summarise multiple readings of the same type into a single hourly record for ease of viewing. Blood Glucose reading backgrounds are colour coded to make low and high readings easily visible.

If there are readings that aren't relevant to you, don't worry, you can just tell the app to stop displaying them in the settings. Graphs and insights help summarise your results and the application allows the tracking of exercises and medication adherence.

The application can also export your readings to a variety of different servers. Additionally the app offers the option to export your data in a variety of different ways, giving you access to your raw information/insights and allowing you to share them with your doctor. The application comes with an export to iTunes with more available for purchase.

HealthGear Diabetes can also sync securely to our Diabetes Server allowing all your various devices to stay in sync with each other. In some countries, and only with your permission, your diabetes information can be monitored by your health care professionals so that timely advice and support is always available.

Integration with Apple HealthKit allows you to leverage your collected data, sharing information with other HealthKit enabled applications on your phone. Apple CareKit and ResearchKit enhance the Diabetes application, analysing information to give a better understanding of your condition. In addition a Help section is provided to aid in letting you really get the most out of our app.

Compatible with both Light and Dark Mode themes.
Now with Apple Watch support.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2023-12-31

Several changes have been made to both the iPhone/iPad and Apple Watch sections of the application based on user feedback.

iPhone/iPad. This version loads the summary information in the background on first display. This improves responsiveness when there are a large number of readings.

Apple Watch. This release fixes an issue with complication colours for users who use mg/dl when measuring blood glucose.
Changes to the display of the readings to give more information.
Now uses a numeric keypad when entering readings. This is more effective that using the default text input.

### 1.2 — 2023-11-13

Change to the food search. The food search now searches by individual words within the name and description. Previously the search string had to completely match, now the words entered are searched for separately. This allows a user to search for "yoghurt vanilla" and return results even when the two words are not next to each other. This allows searches to be refined by adding new terms.

### 1.1 — 2023-05-17

Apple watch support. You can now create diabetes records on your apple watch. The Diabetes watch application also supports complications so that you can see your last blood glucose record along with your remaining quick acting insulin (assumes the insulin cycle is 4 hours).

Activities/medications have been extended to allow medications to be added where it can skip one or more days. This allows the creation of medications that vary not per day of the week but every second, third... day. If you use the diabetes server to synchronise data you must update the Diabetes application on all your devices to ensure correct synchronisation.

### 1.0 — 2020-04-28
