Problems solved by technology

Potential benefit of new intensive control treatments may not be realized without assistance in decision making
[0007] In addition, newer intensive control regimens require tighter control of blood sugar levels, which inherently increases the risk of more frequent hypoglycemic episodes

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The invention will be described below with respect to illustrative embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be practiced in many different applications and embodiments, and its application is not particularly limited to the specific embodiments described in this specification.

[0021] Figure 1 describes a wireless diabetes management system that provides assistance to diabetic patients regardless of the location of the diabetic patient. The diabetes management system of the illustrative embodiment includes an automated diabetes monitoring center (10) that receives data from a remote blood glucose meter cooperating with a mobile radiotelephone (20). According to one aspect of the invention, the blood glucose meter is connected to and transmits data to the patient's wireless telephone (20), which then transmits blood glucose measurement data and / or other disease-related information to the disease monitoring center (10) . Acco...

Abstract

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.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a device for remote disease state management, in particular to the management of diabetes using a wireless reporting device in conjunction with an automatic monitoring center. Background of the invention [0002] Diabetes mellitus is a serious lifelong disorder for which there is still no cure. Approximately 500,000 to 700,000 people are diagnosed with diabetes each year and it is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. In 1993, there were approximately eight million cases of diabetes diagnosed in the United States, and this number is likely to grow to approximately ten million cases at present. This number represents only those diagnosed with diabetes and is estimated to be less than half of the actual number of people with diabetes in the United States. [0003] The impact of diabetes on the health care system is staggering. In the United States, the cost of diabetes hospitalizati...
