"Diabetes App” Available for Smartphones

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 22 Apr 2010
An integrated mHealth solution employs a wireless blood glucose meter for use with Nokia smartphones and other mobile phones running the Symbian and Series 40 operating systems.

The MyGlucoHealth Diabetes application for mobile ("app”) diabetes management allows Nokia handset users to manage their blood glucose readings using the MyGlucoHealth online portal. More...
The app enables the users to wirelessly upload blood tests; review and evaluate results on their handset, chart data or enter weight, exercise, and nutritional information; notify family, physicians, or caregivers with automated text message alerts and reminders when results exceed personally established threshold limits; send and receive secure messages from their physician; and order replacement test strips for their MyGlucoHealth meter.

The MyGlucoHealth Wireless meter, developed by Entra Health Systems (San Diego, CA, USA) is a Bluetooth-enabled glucometer that works in combination with a real-time online data collection network to securely upload and manage blood glucose readings using a mobile phone or PC, eliminating the need to maintain personal logbooks. The meter, along with the MyGlucoHealth Network, form an integrated telehealth platform supporting patients and healthcare professionals in the control and treatment of diabetes. The MyGlucoHealth Mobile App is available free of charge at the Nokia Ovi Store.

"Distributing the MyGlucoHealth Diabetes app with Ovi Store for Nokia users will strengthen our ability to provide more effective mHealth offerings worldwide,” said John Hendel, chairman of Entra Health Systems. "For persons with diabetes, we believe that MyGlucoHealth together with Nokia handsets offers a unique and far-reaching solution for connecting patients with clinicians, family, and caregivers.”
