MTM breakthrough...

VitaDock system is a system for healthcare professionals to use and for patients themselves to use at home for self management of blood sugar, blood pressure, body weight and body temperature. It is known to be the first mobile connected thermometer. 


The iOS it has allows it to capture crucial data and separate the four different measuring modules. Not only keep data of all the above mentioned but it provides graphs and statistics. Whats even more cool about it is that more than one person (up to 4) has the ability to use the same device, which makes it more worthwhile for people to use if they are worried about the cost. The data that is captured on the device can be given to physicians or family members through email. I believe this makes it easier for physicians to keep track of their patients. Also, with the ability to provide the information to family members may put their minds at ease if they know their loved one is doing alright. This could be especially useful in the field of pharmacy to better provide MTM services before the patient even comes in. Pharmacists could be able to review the stats and data and know what to counsel the patient on before they even step foot through the door. The only thing i don't know is if it is available in the U.S. because it is sold through the German T-Mobile website.
