Product Information

Your pen can be used throughout Windows, similar to how you would use a mouse or keyboard. Here are some actions you can start with. This change to the interoperability meant all my data was now in one place. You can see sugar levels, insulin taken and add any extra notes for food and exercise.” How significant are smart insulin pens as a tech development? Press and hold the top button of your pen for 5-7 seconds until the LED flashes white to turn on Bluetooth pairing mode. The "Choose which hand you write with" setting controls where menus appear when you use the pen. For example, if you open a context menu while it's set to "Right Hand", it will appear to the left of the pen tip. If you open a context menu while it's set to "Left Hand", it will appear to the right of the pen tip. Windows tries to avoid opening context menus behind your hand, where you can't see them. In terms of memory and storage, the Pad 6 and Pad 6 Pro are on even footings, but when it comes to gaming performance, the newer 4nm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 pushes ahead strongly with 25% better CPU performance and 40% better graphics capability.

Your pen is receiving power and trying to pair with a device. Restart your Surface and try pairing it again. The app to which the SmartPen or Smart Button can connect automatically records the date, time, and amount of insulin that was injected. The app may present this information as a table or visualize the data using figures and charts. There may also be an option to receive a dose recommendation based on a standard algorithm provided by your main healthcare professional and an option for users to set reminders to dose insulin and/or monitor blood sugar This previously required device-specific apps like the Microsoft Surface app for configuring the Surface Pen on Surface devices. The Microsoft Surface app still allows you to adjust a Surface Pen's pressure sensitivity, and other device-specific tools may still have additional settings. But most common options are now built into Windows. Pen Settings Remote access to this data may also help to support a longer- term transition from in-person to virtual care, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, which could also help alleviate pressure on health system capacity.She added: “In my clinic, the opportunity to view daily insulin data will allow me to better support the individual with diabetes to achieve their goals. On interoperability with connective devices, Dr Griffin says: “Traditionally a person living with diabetes could see their glucose data in one place and would have needed to keep a manual log of their insulin data – often on paper or on a different platform. There are a few approaches to pairing or connecting Surface Pen to your PC and here is the most straightforward way to do that.

James Ridgeway, 34, is a diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) with type 1 diabetes who has seen both the personal and professional side of using smart insulin pens. Acceleration sensor, Gyroscope, Front and rear ambient light sensors, Hall sensor, Side fingerprint sensor Commenting on the interoperability between the smart pens and FreeStyle LibreLink, James says: “I have found registering NovoPen devices onto the LibreLink app very simple for myself and people in my clinic. Manually logging data is time consuming. It typically did not show the exact time that insulin was administered, for example, before or after a meal was consumed. Smart connected devices reduce this time spent logging and provide more precise data.”

Here’s an easy two-step guide on how to connect your Surface Pen with your Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, or Surface Book.

This time around, I’m gonna give the win to the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. I think the extra grunt, better video calling and connectivity future-proofing a fair trade for the extra upfront cost. You can read more about injecting insulin and the different types of insulin pens available. Which smart insulin pens are available? Make sure Bluetooth is on, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose Surface Pen in the list of devices. Follow any other instructions if they appear, then select Done. Novo Nordisk’s smart connected pens are an example of how technology can support people living with diabetes to gain greater insight into the management of their diabetes, on their journey to becoming experts in their diabetes.” Once your pen is paired, you'll be able to use the top button. The top button does different things depending on how you interact with the button. To change these shortcuts, go to Start > Settings > Devices > Pen & Windows Ink .

Tom began using the Libre sensor alongside smart insulin pens in February 2022. He admits that prior to FreeStyle LibreLink connectivity being made available with the pens, using Glooko to link up the smart pen alongside LibreLink for sensor readings was useful, but also a challenge. This was because he had to navigate multiple apps at the same time. But he says the FreeStyle LibreLink integration of smart insulin pens is a ‘massive improvement’. Both tablets use the same four-channel quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support. The sound quality wins hands down against the more budget orientated Redmi Pad but still falls short of Apple’s tablet audio dominance.Comparable to other DCEs [ 32], 77.6% of participants passed the stability test and 87.4% passed the dominance test. A connected insulin pen was chosen over a non-connected pen in 80.3% of DCE tasks. The estimated model (Online Resource 6) was able to explain the choices that the participants made (adjusted McFadden R 2=0.390) and identified three opt-in behaviors: technology supporters (74.9%; n=405), who always chose a connected insulin pen; technology skeptics (8.8%; n=47), who only chose very competitive connected insulin pens (i.e., pens that include many desirable features); and technology opponents (16.3%; n=88), who never chose a connected insulin pen. If you’re not sure whether you have previously connected the Surface Pen to your PC or not, here is how to verify that: The white LED light will flash while in pairing mode. Now you can continue the pairing process on your computer.

Both James and Tom have experience of connecting their smart pens with the FreeStyle LibreLink, for use with their Libre sensors. Now that your Surface Pen is read to use, try using it to do things like jotting down notes, taking screenshots, and planning a trip on your Surface.This data can be uploaded to a compatible app and viewed by people living with diabetes and their healthcare professionals. If you are prescribed a Novo smart pen and wish to use it like a standard insulin pen without the connectivity function, then you can discuss this with your clinic or healthcare provider - for example, so you can see if a different pen may suit you better. How can smart insulin pens affect diabetes management? The NovoPen injection data can be stored onto FreeStyle LibreView (the cloud-based data system where data can be shared with healthcare teams) which allows me to see how much insulin a person is using, and whether they missed an injection. It has simply made a positive difference to my consultations and experiences of people in my clinic.” The devices have a dose memory display which shows the amount of time that has passed since the last dose, and they can show a person when a dose has been missed. That being said, for social video calling, you might not care about the better low light clarity and sharper video quality.
