Glooko
Glooko
Glooko, Inc. is a privately held global digital health company headquartered in Palo Alto, California, that provides a unified, connected care platform for diabetes management[1]. The platform's core offering is a system that allows people with diabetes and their healthcare providers to collect, view, analyze, and act upon diabetes data from a wide variety of diabetes and health monitoring devices and applications offered by company partners, including Novo Nordisk, Insulet, Abott, and Dexcom.
History and Development
Glooko was founded in 2010 in Silicon Valley by venture capitalist Yogen Dalal, Chamath Palihapitiya and mobile developer Sundeep Madra. Dalal conceived the idea as a way to collect and visualize his own blood glucose data, addressing the fragmentation caused by siloed data from diabetes devices[2]. The first product was the Glooko MeterSync Cable, an FDA-cleared solution that enabled the transfer of data from various blood glucose meters to a smartphone[3]. The company also offered an insulin dosing calculator for Type 2 Diabetes, approved by the FDA, through its platform. The company has secured investments, including a reported $100 million Series F funding round in October 2024, led by Georgian.[4]
Glooko has used acquisitions to expand its diabetes management platform capabilities and market reach.

- xbird (January 2022): Acquired Berlin-based health AI company to enhance personalized digital coaching through machine learning and JITAI (Just In Time Adaptive Intervention).[6]
- DIABNEXT (March 2022): Acquired to support local remote monitoring programs in France.[7] Product is now offered as Glooko XT in the French market.
- Monarch Medical Technologies (September 2025): Acquired the maker of the EndoTool® Glucose Management System, an FDA-cleared software for optimizing insulin dosing in hospitalized patients.[8]
