Zusammenfassung:Advanced disease state management for diabetics through a wireless phone. A remote counselling service is accessible through the wireless communication feature of a wireless phone that interfaces to the diabetics' glucometer. A patient can send his glucose data directly to a counselling centre and receive a message back on how to proceed with treatment. Wireless technology can additionally be utilised to alert a caretaker that a hypoglycaemic value has been measured. The caretaker can then intervene to secure help. The telemetry can also be used to measure compliance with a prescribed disease management regime. The disease management system is also suitable for targeted marketing of supplies to diabetic patients.
