Telemedicine

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications technology to diagnose and treat illnesses.

In the past, although telemedicine was commonly used to bridge the physical distance between doctor and patient for an operation, for example, or a second consultation, it is now also used for home diagnostics for chronic illnesses.

Support through telemonitoring

Telemonitoring can be used as part of telemedicine to support the treatment of both the individual diseases as well as the overall condition. For diabetes, high blood pressure, and excess weight, telemedicine is still in the initial phase.
Until now, with their measuring devices and diaries, patients have been out of step with the technological possibilities that are open to them in their daily lives through their cell phones and the internet.
However, it is precisely this technology that helps support the monitoring and management of patients and those close to them (family, doctors, etc.).
BodyTel offers products for diabetes, blood pressure, and excess weight: GlucoTel, PressureTel und WeightTel make this comprehensive approach to health management possible – for both the individual diseases and the metabolic condition as a whole.
