PositiveID’s iglucose Diabetes Management System Gets U.S. Green Light

PositiveID Corporation out of Delray Beach, Florida won clearance from the FDA for its wireless iglucose diabetes management system. The device is essentially a black box (with a couple lights) that has a USB port outside and a cellular chip inside. Plugging in a compatible glucometer (LifeScan OneTouch and Nipro Diagnostic True are listed in the press release) automatically triggers the technology to collect blood glucose readings and to send them over a mobile phone network to an online portal for clinicians and caretakers to review. The device is independent, not requiring a computer to operate, and the built-in cellular capabilities are not dependent on having to sign up for a phone plan.
Once the data is uploaded, charts and reports can be easily generated for a comprehensive analysis of glucose levels over time.
