CeBIT: Deutsche Telekom adds mobile healthcare measuring devices to product
range
- Mobile monitoring of blood glucose, blood pressure, pulse, temperature
and weight

from mid-2011

_______________________________________________________________
Deutsche Telekom and healthcare specialist Medisana are exhibiting at CeBIT
the VitaDock range of mobile healthcare measuring devices. Patients can use
them to read, store, evaluate and relay their blood glucose, blood
pressure, pulse, temperature and weight data via smartphones and tablet PCs
while on the move. VitaDock measuring devices are available for use with
the iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPad and iPod touch. From mid-2011 the modules will
be on sale at Deutsche Telekom's T-Shop retail outlets.
VitaDock app keeps a personal healthcare diary
Modules connect to the mobile phone's interface and relay readings to the
relevant app. Its software maps the reading automatically and saves it to a
personal database where, if required, it can be stored for years.
Diabetics, for example, can use the GlucoDock module to keep a personal
diary of their blood glucose readings and no longer need to record them
manually. In addition to the GlucoDock( there is the ThermoDock thermometer
module, the CardioDock blood pressure and pulse module and TargetScale,
which reads and records the patient's weight and also measures his or her
body-mass index and body fat percentage.
An example of smart healthcare networking
'Via mobile telephony we network professional medical care and nursing care
in the domestic environment and thereby help the chronically ill, such as
diabetics, to lead mobile, self-determined lives. This is a further example
of the smart healthcare network and of Deutsche Telekom strategy. With
smart networks, including the Group's Health business unit, Deutsche
Telekom aims to earn an additional EUR 1 billion in sales revenue by 2015,'
says Dr. Axel Wehmeier, head of the Deutsche Telekom Group's healthcare
business unit.
'VitaDock measuring modules and VitaDock apps also enable healthy people to
monitor their pulse, temperature or weight by smartphone. Plug-and-Play
technology makes the devices easy to use and self-explanatory. That opens
up for older people in particular new opportunities to monitor their
health,' says Ralf Lindner, CEO of MEDISANA AG.
All of the measuring devices work with analytic and classification
functions that comply with World Health Organisation standards, for
example. The personal database enables users to decide whether and which
vital data they want to be passed on to others. Furthermore, family
members, doctors and carers can help the user not to lose sight of
important healthcare parameters, and that represents a gain in safety for
the patient.
