Why OpenGlucose?
The canonical introduction for developers, vendors, researchers, and partners.
What is OpenGlucose?
About OpenGlucose
OpenGlucose is a vendor-neutral open standards organization for glucose telemetry and interoperability.
About OpenGlucose
Governance
Open participation, vendor neutrality, and transparent decision-making.
Decision process
How changes are proposed, reviewed, and recorded in version control.
Ecosystem
How CGM data flows through telemetry and interoperability into applications.
Working groups
Future focused groups for adapters, semantics, clinical mapping, and developer experience.
Community
Contribute to standards, telemetry, and the website.
Mission
Enable every glucose device, application, healthcare platform, AI system, and researcher to exchange glucose information through open specifications and tooling.
Ecosystem umbrella
OpenGlucose is an ecosystem—not a loose collection of repositories. Standards (Open Glucose Interoperability) define the contract; telemetry (Open Glucose Telemetry) ingests and normalizes data; future SDKs, schemas, and reference implementations will extend the same model as they ship.
Community values
- Vendor neutral — no single device maker or platform owns the standard
- Open standards — public specifications anyone can implement
- Developer first — clear schemas, examples, and runtimes
- Healthcare ready — designed for interoperability and clinical integration paths
- Transparent governance — open evolution through community review
Governance
OpenGlucose is governed openly. Technical and organizational decisions are recorded through an RFC-style process as the community matures.
