Medical monitoring technology has advanced significantly in the last decade. Monitoring that once required a visit to a health-care facility can now be performed by devices located in a patient’s home or carried or worn at all times. Examples include measures of glucose level (blood sugar), pulse, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (EKG). Measurements can be transmitted via telephone, Internet connection, and wireless data transmission standards, such as Bluetooth. A particularly powerful technology combination is a wearable device that records data periodically or continuously and transmits it via Bluetooth to a cell phone app. The cell phone app can inform the patient of problems and can automatically transmit data and alerts to a central monitoring application.  

  Health-care providers and patients incur significant costs when glucose levels are not maintained within acceptable tolerances. Short-term episodes of very high or very low glucose often result in expensive visits to urgent care clinics or hospitals. In addition, patients with frequent but less severe episodes of high or low glucose are more susceptible to such expensive, long-term complications as vision, circulatory, and kidney problems.
