For people with diabetes and the people who care for them

Diabetes is a lot to carry. Let Tsumo take some of the burden.

Tsumo is a small wearable in development, designed to help you see what happened around a glucose change.

It notices your meals and meds, reminds you at the right moment, and spots patterns to discuss with your care team. Almost nothing to log, no photos to take.

Concept images made with AI, not photos of a working device. Interchangeable finishes. Wear the color you want.

Free, no card, no obligation. Founding members get 20% off the subscription. Details

It sees and hears what matters, but it’s designed to keep only what’s needed, and to keep it private. Our privacy goals

Tsumo is in development and not for sale yet. This site helps us gauge interest and gather feedback. Product images are concept renders and concept images made with AI, not photos of a working device.

Through Tsumo’s eyes

Lunch with a friend. Nothing to log.

What it would see, hear and work out, in 20 seconds.

A woman laughs with a friend at lunch; a server sets down a salmon grain bowl. She wears a small round Tsumo pin on her sweater.

What it does

Four things it’s designed to take off your mind.

Tsumo works in the background. No photos to take, almost nothing to log.

  • Notices your meals

    It sees what’s on your plate and hears details like “dressing on the side”, then estimates carbs with context.

    Lunch noticed: salmon bowl, about 52 g carbs. Moderate, the oil slows the rise.

  • Speaks up when it matters

    When a meal starts, when meds are due, and before a refill runs out. The decisions stay yours.

    You’ve started eating. Time to check if you need to bolus.Shown only if you use insulin. Tsumo never doses.

  • Keeps your people in the loop

    Meals, meds and refills, shared only with the people you choose.

  • Spots patterns

    It looks at what happened before and after a glucose change, like meals, meds, sleep and activity, and finds patterns to discuss with your care team.

    A pattern to discuss with your care team: later dinners, higher mornings.

A camera you wear?

Built to be trusted around your table.

To notice a meal, Tsumo has to see what’s in front of you. So privacy is one of the first decisions we make, not the last.

  • You control capture

    Designed so you can pause it whenever you choose.

  • Snapshots, not video

    Selected snapshots tied to meals and meds, so you can see what an estimate was based on.

  • Context, not recordings

    Designed to listen for details like “dressing on the side” and keep a short note, not the audio.

  • You choose who sees what

    Sharing is planned to be optional, with the people you pick, and you can change it anytime.

Why Tsumo exists

“I’ve lived with diabetes since I was five. The estimate was never the hard part. Remembering was.”

Nicole paid for a photo carb app and never used it properly, not even once. By the time she remembered, she was halfway through the meal. Tsumo is what she wanted for herself, and for caregivers like her parents.
