iglucose: Recently FDA-Cleared, Wireless Diabetes Management System Keeps Everyone Connected

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011


Miami Florida USA (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

A parent of a child with diabetes or a child of an elderly parent with the disease, wouldnt it give peace of mind to know that a loved one was not only testing their blood sugar levels regularly as prescribed by their physician, but also to know what their blood sugar levels are as they test at any time day or night?

FDA-cleared iglucose as seen in the feature by Doctors Outlook, a wireless communication system for diabetes management, makes this a reality. Whats more, iglucose functions without the use of a cell phone, telephone, personal computer or wireless data plan.

Imagine this scenario: a 10-year-old child at school who is supposed to test their blood glucose level before lunch. A text message is sent to anyone on their caregiver, family, or doctors list that they have just checked their blood sugar but their levels have fallen dangerously low and they need to eat or drink something immediately. The school nurse also gets a text message and email that the childs levels are low along with any other person or group desired to be alerted. iglucose creates a communication connection where immediate action can be taken to ensure the child doesnt suffer an adverse reaction like hypoglycemia from their low blood sugar, which in severe cases can lead to seizures, coma and even death. Of course iglucose also applies to any family member of any age or those who do not have family or loved ones available to check on them.

iglucose which was recently FDA-cleared as a mobile health system and will be available in the market soon, seamlessly communicates glucose readings from leading blood glucose meters to the iglucose diabetes management portal. From there, this important data can be shared automatically with family members, caregivers and healthcare professionals via text message, email or fax.

iglucose eliminates the burden of keeping manual logbooks of glucose levels and empowers people to be more active with the management of their diabetes. Leading diabetes education organizations recommend that people with diabetes check their blood sugar, keep a logbook of their readings, and take them to their healthcare professional. This is a fundamental cornerstone of diabetes management. Unfortunately, many people with diabetes do not keep logbooks. iglucose solves this problem by automating the process. iglucose not only simplifies life for people with diabetes, but also connects them with loved ones and healthcare professionals who are concerned about their care. This is truly a win-win for all.

PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) develops unique medical devices and molecular diagnostic systems like the Ricin Detection systems noted in the Digital Journal release. PositiveID focuses primarily on diabetes management, rapid medical testing and airborne bio-threat detection. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, MicroFluidic Systems or MFS, is focused on the development of microfluidic systems for the automated preparation of and performance of biological assays.

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011


Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

TubeMogul, a real-time media buying platform for video advertising, went live with new partnerships today that enable clients to seamlessly buy targeted video ads on connected TV applications. These applications are similar to smartphone applications, but are accessed via Internet-connected TVs or other Internet-enabled set-top devices.

Internet-connected TVs, long associated with niche cable cutters, are rapidly entering the mainstream with growth in online streaming via set-top boxes, gaming consoles and newer TVs that have built-in application marketplaces. Based on current trends, market research firm DisplaySearch predicts that 123 million Internet-connected TV units will be shipped annually worldwide by 2014. In addition, over 60% of connected households in the U.S. will use a TV app at least once a week, according to research from In-Stat.

The audience has clearly stated that it wants to watch its favorite shows on whatever screen is handy everything from the smallest smart phones to the biggest smart TVs. Advertisers that can figure out how to easily reach customers across all of those platforms have a huge advantage, said Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3 and new media pioneer. TubeMoguls new service provides that easy and targeted access, with publishers still in control, into this gold-mine of audience opportunity.

These applications are available on Internet TVs from LG, Samsung and others as well as set-top devices and gaming consoles such as Boxee, Google TV, Sony PlayStation, Roku, Tivo and Nintendo Wii. The viewing experience is similar to a web-based pre-roll ad, with ads appearing before or during content. As always, marketers are in total control over context, hand-selecting which applications to advertise on.

Global targeting and measurement across many screens means more possibilities for branding than were ever before possible, says Rick Bashkoff, VP, Partnerships & Network Development at Howcast, which will be among the advertisers participating. It will be exciting to see not only what top brands and their agencies do with that data and but also how it benefits premium content development for distribution across all channels.

The results deliver the branding power of television with digital advertisings unique ability to customize, target and optimize all managed via TubeMoguls easy-to-use interface.

TubeMoguls measurement comes built-in, so marketers can quantify impact and optimize in real-time by ad placement and publisher.

“Everyone talks about moving TV dollars online, but what is really happening is the experiences are merging and cable companies are slowly losing their grip on content distribution, said Brett Wilson, CEO of TubeMogul. “With these integrations, TubeMogul is giving advertisers an easy way to target across all devices in a context where publishers are still in control.
