What you need to get started:ΒΆ

  • An Android Smartphone with Android 5.0 or later. See this spreadsheet for user reports on how well a particular phone works with AndroidAPS. If you are using an Accu-Chek Combo pump you will need to be running LineageOS 14.1 or Android 8.1 or later to be able to successfully pair the phone and the pump.
  • A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) data source: Dexcom G4/G5/G6, Freestyle Libre, Eversense or Medtronic Guardian
  • An app to receive data from your CGM and interface with AndroidAPS such as: xDrip, xDrip+, Glimp, 600SeriesAndroidUploader
  • The AndroidAPS app itself. This is provided as a source code which you will need to compile using Android Studio before it can be loaded onto your Android phone.
  • Nightscout 0.10.2 or later
  • A supported pump: a SOOIL Dana-R, Dana-RS Insulin Pump or a Roche Accu-Chek Combo. Other pumps may be possible but would require the necessary drivers to be written.
