Does the Medtronic Simplera work with Apple Watch?
What Medtronic Simplera’s own apps (Simplera app, MiniMed Mobile app (Simplera Sync with MiniMed 780G), CareLink Connect) do, from the maker’s documents.
Partly
The Simplera app works with Apple Watch, which shows glucose values and alerts while it is in range of the phone. For Simplera Sync, the MiniMed Mobile US app shows pump and sensor data on Apple Watch. The CareLink Connect US follower app lists iPhone and iPad only. (Medtronic user guide, p. 11; Medtronic user guide, p. 15; App Store listing)
Simplera (standalone) sends readings to the Simplera app on a phone; Simplera Sync pairs with the MiniMed 780G pump, and the MiniMed Mobile app is a secondary display for the pump.
