Blood Glucose Monitor with Native iPhone Support

Filed under: Medicine , Pediatrics


AgaMatrix, a maker of popular blood glucose monitors, is planning on releasing a connectivity package to interface their Jazz Meter with Apple's iPhone. Once the FDA approves the firm's WaveSense Direct Connect Cable, this may become the first fully licensed medical device specifically designed to work with an iPhone. Diabetic iPhone fanatics can sign up at the WaveSense product page for an email update when the product comes to market.

Result Tracking
Record glucose results, carb/insulin input, or a combination of both.

Notes
With the notes feature you can put high, low, or great numbers in context. If you take a little too much insulin and experience a low result you can note it. If you have a carb rich meal and go high you can note that. Create custom notes and better understand your glucose results.

Color Coding
The glucose score cards are color coded so you can easily see when you have had high or low results.

Log Book
Review your results over time and find opportunities to improve your diabetes care.

Trend Chart
Find patterns in a visual representation of your numbers over time

Email
If you ever need a second opinion on your numbers you can share them with your trusted health care team. You choose what gets sent to who and when

But it looks like you have to plug it in to sync it! Why can't it just sync via bluetooth?

Dan,
Apple don't allow application developers to use the bluetooth capability of the iPhone.
