Glucose Meter Helps Patients Share Blood Sugar Data

A new blood glucose meter automatically sends test results wirelessly via Bluetooth technology to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

The OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System, when combined with the OneTouch Reveal mobile app, will allow users to view a variety of personalized information directly on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, including a 14-day summary of blood sugar test results, and simple visuals showing the percentage of test results within target range. They can also share that information via email or text with care providers, family, or friends.

The device also has its own display for viewing individual readings, so that the user is not dependent on having an iOS device at hand. One of the planned options will be a buffering capability to allow the storing of multiple test results on the Verio Sync to be sent over together once the device is connected. The OneTouch Verio Sync Blood Glucose Monitoring System is a product of LifeScan (Milpitas, CA, USA), and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“For so many people, their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch have become a tool of choice to help organize and take charge of their daily lives,” said Ty Lee, vice president of marketing at LifeScan. “For people with diabetes, the new OneTouch Verio Sync System will enable them to use their iOS device to view and share their blood glucose results wirelessly, in much the same way they rely on them in other areas of their lives.”
