Senseonics Partners with Rimidi to Develop Innovative Diabetes Solution
Eversense® CGM+RPM solution to be powered by Rimidi’s clinical management platform
GERMANTOWN, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes, today announced a strategic partnership with Rimidi, a leading clinical management platform designed to optimize clinical workflows, enhance patient experiences, and achieve quality objectives for chronic disease management, in the development of its Eversense® Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Program for use by the health care providers.
“We are excited to combine our clinical management platform with Senseonics’ technology. Our platform and its capabilities were designed to leverage the data from medical devices like Eversense CGM to streamline and improve chronic disease management,” said Chief Executive Officer of Rimidi, Lucienne Ide, MD, PhD. “81% of patients with type 2 diabetes do not meet their HbA1c, blood pressure and cholesterol goals, and this partnership represents an exciting opportunity to assist providers in driving improved glucose outcomes for this population.”
The partnership will integrate Eversense glucose data into Rimidi’s comprehensive clinical management platform used by health systems, capitated health plans and physician practices. Rimidi’s platform aligns with Medicare’s reimbursable remote patient monitoring telehealth programs while seamlessly integrating within existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, supporting quality improvement initiatives, driving workflow optimization, increasing patient engagement and providing clinical decision support.
Powered by Rimidi, the Eversense CGM + RPM solution is intended to seamlessly and securely push patient glucose data to the most widely used EHR systems, to provide direct access for healthcare providers. With increased visibility on glucose trends, high or low event frequency, and time-in-range statistics, providers will be able to proactively engage patients to provide lifestyle and therapy optimization guidance in order to better manage their diabetes, lower healthcare costs and improve clinical outcomes.
“The Eversense RPM Program™ is the next step in our roadmap to combine long-term implantable CGM technology with advanced analytics and personalized health services into a comprehensive diabetes solution. Eversense RPM will arm providers with powerful data to optimize care in between office visits where 99% of diabetes management takes place,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “Rimidi’s best-in-class platform will seamlessly integrate Eversense data. Combined with expert diabetes nurse counselors, proprietary decision support protocols, and fully compliant RPM reimbursement infrastructure, our Eversense CGM+RPM solution is intended to further differentiate Eversense from other CGM manufacturers, reaching beyond a stand-alone device and putting a comprehensive solution into the hands of health care systems, providers, and patients. Aligned with Medicare’s diabetes population management initiatives, we are proud to be at the forefront of providing the next evolution of innovation in diabetes with the goal to give healthcare professionals the confidence of knowing patients have support outside of their office and patients the confidence of achieving healthy outcomes. We look forward to providing Ascensia, our commercial partner, with this exciting program, offering further reason for providers and patients to choose Eversense.”
Senseonics, in collaboration with its commercial partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, intends to make the Eversense CGM+RPM solution available to select population health-based systems beginning in the third quarter of 2024, followed by a planned expansion of the program to all healthcare prescribers and users of Eversense.

About Eversense
The Eversense® E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to 180 days in persons with diabetes age 18 and older. The system is indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration primarily one time a day after day 21, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense E3 CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
