The company's CEO defended its feature as a wellness tool under the 21st Century Cures Act, combating the FDA’s claim that it qualifies as a regulated medical device.

The feature will be available via new iOS and watchOS updates, one year after the U.S. International Trade Commission banned Apple from selling its Series 9, Series 10 and Ultra 2 watches.

The company will use the funds to expand its technology offerings and nationwide partnerships.

Data from Dexcom CGMs will be integrated into FriskaAi and will be monitored by AI-powered algorithms that alert patients when action is advised.
