Tidepool Loop Device Partners

Community-driven innovation, made real by Tidepool

A vision carried forward

Tidepool Loop began as a community project.

People with diabetes and their loved ones imagined a world where technology worked across devices, put choice back in people’s hands, and moved faster than industry alone.

Tidepool took on the challenge of turning that vision into reality.

With your support, we:

Became the first FDA-cleared, interoperable Automated Glycemic Controller (iAGC) iOS app
Partnered with regulators, researchers, and device makers to set a new standard for interoperability
Proved that community-led innovation can shape the future of diabetes care

This is more than a milestone in technology—it’s a milestone in trust, collaboration, and what we can accomplish together.

Tidepool Loop at the core of twiist AID system powered by Tidepool

At the heart of the twiist AID System is the Tidepool Loop algorithm— built from the first FDA-cleared, fully interoperable AID system available on iPhone and Apple Watch which is created from community-led innovation. Tidepool transformed a grassroots idea into a regulated medical device by working with the FDA, running usability studies, and building a device that meets the highest standards of safety and reliability.

Now, people living with diabetes can:
Download twiist Loop from the App Store with a prescription from their provider
Access trusted support as part of their regular care
Trust that today an equivalent version of the Tidepool Loop algorithm powers the twiist AID System, and tomorrow it opens the door for more device choices

What this means for your care experience

Championing interoperability

Choice matters. Tidepool Loop was designed to work across devices from the start. Every new device partner expands what’s possible—ensuring that people with diabetes aren’t locked into a single system, but instead can build the toolkit that works best for them.

From community to clinic

What began with the #WeAreNotWaiting movement is now available as part of routine care. Tidepool carried the vision through usability studies, quality systems, clinical evidence, and FDA review to ensure safety and effectiveness.
