Cellular Blood Glucose Meter Shares Actionable Data

Features of the BGM device include secure transmission of data to the proprietary MyTelcare.com website, a backlit color screen, rechargeable battery. Blood glucose measurent requires only a small blood sample, and delivers fast results. The device can also interact with dedicated smartphone apps for both iPhone and Android platforms.

An individualized onscreen feedback feature allows healthcare providers to provide automatic feedback and coaching, with messages appearing right on the meter's screen. And when accessing the MyTelcare.com website, the user can view graphs and charts that plot all data into categories such as time of day and events (such as Before Breakfast and After Dinner). Evolving partnerships will allow the device to further assist and engage patients and their caregivers by building additional connections to biometric data. The Telcare BGM is a product of Telcare (Dublin, Ireland), and has received the European Union CE marking of approval.
