The guide is available as an application on iTunes and is specific to Novo Nordisk\u2019s modern insulin analog portfolio: Levemir\u00ae (insulin detemir [rDNA origin] injection), NovoLog\u00ae (insulin aspart [rDNA origin] injection), and NovoLog\u00ae Mix 70\/30 (70% insulin aspart protamine suspension and 30% insulin aspart injection, [rDNA origin]).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through a series of questions with easy touch-screen answers, NovoDose\u2122 allows physicians to select the type of insulin they want to research, review suggested guidelines for dosing, titration and even blood glucose goals for their patients. The app also provides important safety information on the products and only those who self-identify as healthcare professionals can download the app.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe dosing app from Novo Nordisk is a great tool that provides healthcare professionals with diabetes management information at the touch of a finger,\u201d said Anup Kumar Sabharwal, MD, an endocrinologist in Miami. \u201cThe app can save time for primary care physicians and hospitalists, who may not have the experience dosing analog insulins, and may help them to calculate doses from their iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. This is where modern medicine is headed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This new technology is part of a trend of physicians using hand-held devices (i.e., PDAs or SmartPhones) when treating their patients. According to a survey conducted by Manhattan Research of nearly 2,000 physicians:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>70 percent believe their PDA\/SmartPhone is \u201cessential\u201d to their practice, and<\/li>\n<li>81 percent want more apps related to their specialty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Specific to the dosing guide app Novo Nordisk created,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nearly half of those interviewed (44 percent) have accessed a dosing calculator online from their phone, and<\/li>\n<li>61 percent would prefer to access a dose calculator through their PDA vs. their computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPhysicians are embracing the Internet as part of how they practice medicine \u2013 from accessing clinical trials online to networking with peers across the country through sites like SERMO, most physicians agree that access to information online is an asset to their practice,\u201d said Camille Lee, Vice President, Diabetes Marketing, Novo Nordisk. \u201cWe\u2019re taking that one step further with NovoDose<sup>TM<\/sup> by literally putting that information in the palm of their hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NovoDose<sup>TM<\/sup> is now available for free download at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novodose.com\/app\">www.novodose.com\/app<\/a> or on iTunes for those who self-identify as a healthcare professional.
