Prodigy Voice: A Fully Audible, No-Coding Blood Glucose Monitor

Prodigy Voice is a fully audible blood glucose monitoring system specifically designed for blind and low vision users.

For the visually impaired, testing blood glucose can be a challenge. However, it is also a necessity in order to stay on top of your diabetes self-management program. Knowing what your blood glucose levels are important to your wellbeing and your overall health. This is how you determine how much insulin is needed to correct your blood sugar, but inaccurate results can lead to serious health problems.

Even if your vision is normally good, abnormally high or low blood sugar may cause blurred vision, leading to an inaccurate or misinterpreted reading.
