The Hypo-METRICS app shows promise as a new research tool to assess the impact of hypoglycemia on an individual's daily functioning. Despite suggested improvements, participants' responses indicated that the app has satisfactory content validity, overall fits in with everyday life, and is suitable for a 10-week research study. Although developed for research purposes, real-time assessments may have clinical value for monitoring and reviewing hypoglycemia symptom awareness and personal impact.
