Vodafone Business Services (VBS) has collaborated with Diabetacare to launch dCare Smart, a GSM SIM enabled wireless glucometer that helps people to proactively monitor their blood sugar levels.
It is powered by Vodafone’s Machine to Machine (M2M) embedded cellular technology. Reportedly, the device transmits blood sugar results to a secure Diabetacare server, where they are constantly monitored by diabetes specialist clinicians at the Diabetacare’s Diabetes Management Centre (DMC). In case of any abnormal blood glucose readings, both the patient and kin receive an alert/ call with expert advice from the DMC immediately.
dCare Smart is paired with the back-end clinical servers which connect directly to the electronic medical record system, wherein access is given to patients and their caregivers to keep them informed and better manage the condition.
