GLUCOPHONE

GLUCOMETER + CELL PHONE = GLUCOPHONE

Glucophone is a new technology that integrates a blood glucose meter with a standard cellphone. It not only allows you to send results over the air, but specially equipped mobiles will actually be fitted with a GlucoPack that enables you to test Glucose level yourself as you would do with any other traditional glucometer.


(LG GLUCOPHONE)

Glucophone is essentially a cellphone and glucometer. It will measure blood sugar levels, record and send results to yourself and others.

GLUCOPHONE

A company called Healthpia America has developed an integrated cell phone-glucometer system that "uses custom software along with an LG UX5000, VX5200, or LX350 and a Glucopack." According to the company's website, they believe that their system is "the world's first, all-in-one, glucometer cell phone and service for managing diabetes remotely. Whether you're a guardian, physician, or healthcare institution, you can provide 24/7 support and emergency intervention to Diabetes Phone subscribers -- anytime, anywhere. It's a full disease management system."



WORKING OF GLUCOPHONES

HealthPia has developed a glucose meter (GlucoPack™) that can be fitted onto regular cell phones.



The customer uses the GlucoPack™ in the same manner as any standard glucose meter.



Software has been developed that can be downloaded into your cell phone that can interface with the GlucoPack™ to test and read your glucose level.

(When you go visit or talk to your doctor or a hospital, with the subscriber's permission all the test results are accessible online.)



The test reslults are stored in the cell phone and also sent to an online medical management database. The results can also be automatically sent to other sources such as your physician, guardian, family members in real-time at the subscriber's direction.

The disease management center analyzes the test results and provides professional medical management for the subscriber.
