Competitive Landscape
iWel operates in a highly competitive space. It faces direct competition from medical CGM leaders Dexcom and Abbott in diabetes management, and from digital health/software companies like Signos, Levels, and January that provide analytics on top of existing CGMs for wellness. Its key differentiator is the development of its own low-cost hardware platform aimed at the OTC market.
