Bluetooth Device Syncs Blood Glucose Data

The app provides color-coding and graph, list, and calendar views to track weekly patterns and events. Text notes and photo tagging allow recording of information such as mood, activity, and food, and a report-sharing feature can update the doctor with an e-mail of results right from the app. The data is synced with the mydittolife dot com cloud-based secure website, eliminating the need for manual entry log keeping.

Multiple meters can be connected to a single personal account, with the data seamlessly integrated into the data logs and available anytime and anywhere, allowing users to view immediate and historical data and share the results with their medical professionals, family members, and others via e-mail or the mydittolife dot com web portal, a secure storage and access point with all the features of the app and additional features such as graphs, expanded calendar features, and more. The ditto Glucose Bluetooth Data System is a product of Biomedtrics (Pleasanton, CA, USA), and is compatible with most approved blood glucose meters.

“One of the largest patient generated data sets in the world is glucose monitoring, potentially hundreds of millions of data points per day,” said Robert Englert, CEO of Biomedtrics. “Only a small fraction of this data is shared in a way that benefits the individual, their doctor, their family, or the community in an efficient and meaningful way.”

“I am impressed,” added associate professor Chen-Yen Wang, PhD, of the University of Hawaii (Manoa, USA). “I would like to apply this device in patient education at their visits. I would like to do a pilot study to examine the effectiveness of the device in behavioral changes related to diabetes self-management in patients with elevated HbA1c.”
