Today, doctors recommend that people suffering from chronic illnesses regularly collect all body values relevant to their treatment themselves. In the case of diabetes, this is essential, in order to determine the necessary quantity of insulin. In addition, it may also be recommended to measure and document vital data for preventive reasons, i.e., independent of any existing illness. For this purpose, devices suitable for home diagnostics are offered.

BodyTel goes a step further: The telemedical devices not only measure the values (blood glucose, blood pressure, weight). The complete values are also automatically, wirelessly transferred into an online record. Using defined alarm rules, support persons authorized by patients can be informed immediately in the event of significant deviations in measured values, enabling the authorized person to react in emergency situations.

This is realized with a system consisting of three components:

1. the measuring device:
   • GlucoTel (blood glucose meter) for diabetes patients
   • PressureTel (blood pressure measuring device) for people with heart disease or for preventive reasons
   • WeightTel (scales) for anyone for whom regular, medically accurate weight measurement is important, for example because of dialysis illnesses or through being significantly overweight. Preventive use is also possible - as part of fitness and dietary programs.


2. The user’s transfer device (home gateway or cell phone), which serves as transfer medium between measuring device and online record and also allows access to data and statistics (from any location).


3. The online portal BodyTel Center with the user’s personal, secure online record, which, as well as data processing, can also send alarm messages.

The whole system helps people live responsibly with their illness and enables them to contribute to the avoidance of complications and secondary illnesses.
