RFIDNews | PositiveID completes prototype of RF-based glucose monitoring system

Monday, May 17, 2010

PositiveID announced that it has completed development of the initial prototype of its RF-based iGlucose system.

The system consists of a small cradle that connects to any data-capable glucose meter to automatically communicate diabetic’s blood sugar readings to the iGlucose online database in real-time.

This improves diabetes management and helps ensure patient compliance, data accuracy and insurance reimbursement.

The iGlucose system automatically queries a diabetic user’s data-capable glucose meter for blood glucose data and sends that data via encrypted SMS text messaging to an online database.

At the patient’s discretion, blood glucose data can also be forwarded to physicians and caregivers at predetermined intervals.

New-borns stay under close watch using RFID technology

The Basque National Health System has launched a neonatal security system designed to monitor and protect new-born infants using RFID technology.

When a pregnant woman is admitted to hospital, she is provided a tag with a unique identification which can be read in all the maternity zones. When the baby is born, an RFID tag specially designed for the new born is fitted to its ankle. The device monitors the infant 24 hours a day, detecting unauthorized movements, registering entries and exits to and from and enabling immediate location information.
