PR Newswire
MINNEAPOLIS Cardiocom, LLC, a telehealth disease
management company, announced the launch of its innovative GlucoCom
Blood Glucose Monitoring Products and AutoLink Diabetes Telemonitoring
System.
Using advanced telehealth technology, blood glucose data is transmitted
from the individual's GlucoCom Blood Glucose Monitor at home
to the secure GlucoCom
Diabetes Management Website. Diabetes patients can easily access
custom reports that feature high and low alert limits, testing frequency
and percent of normal readings by time of day. They can elect to
share the information with their care providers.
"Multiple studies show that improving blood glucose control
can impact the progression of diabetes complications and reduce
health risks and costs," said Edward Kramper, M.D., Cardiocom's
Chief Medical Officer. "Patients will be more engaged when
they have an easy-to-use tool that supports their care plan and
helps them communicate better with their physicians."
The advanced GlucoCom blood glucose meter features small
0.7 microliter blood sample size, rapid 7 second test results, Alternative
Site Testing and storage of up to 450 test results. The easy-to-use
GlucoCom meter connects in seconds to AutoLink, a home
telemonitoring device about the size of a checkbook. Data is transmitted
automatically over a standard phone line to a website where it can
be viewed only with a secure user ID and password. GlucoCom integrates
into existing diabetes disease management programs for health plans,
providers, home health agencies, pharmacies and durable medical
equipment providers.
"The GlucoCom System expands Cardiocom's vision of providing
high-quality, cost-effective telehealth products and integrated
disease management solutions," said Daniel L. Cosentino, Cardiocom's
President. "The company has demonstrated that daily monitoring
of vital signs and symptoms combined with our patient management
protocols and expert clinical nurses provide a significant reduction
in cost and improvement in quality of care."
