Tidepool Loop Gets $6M Boost from JDRF/Helmsley

JDRF and The Helmsley Charitable Trust announced collaborative grant agreement to provide Tidepool with the funding needed to begin developing Tidepool Loop. This is a vote of confidence and displays tangible support for Tidepool’s effort to deliver an FDA-regulated version of Loop in the App Store.

Tidepool is primarily known for its data aggregation services that make it easy to see all your data in one place.  See this article for more information.

The funds will be used to grow the development team.  Pete Schwamb and Katie DiSimone of the Loop community have already joined the team. See the Tidepool blog post for other roles that Tidepool wants to add.
