Lifescan has received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for a new blood glucose meter that connects, via bluetooth technology, with Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Lifescan's OneTouch VerioSync blood glucose monitoring system allows blood test results taken on the meter to be transferred wirelessly to a compatible device such as an iPhone or iPad. Results can then be reviewed and analysed on the data management app, the OneTouch Reveal, which can be installed onto the phone, tablet or mp3 player. Newer blood glucose meters have allowed people to transfer data onto computers but having blood glucose data available on the phone enables patients to check the results at the most convenient time, be that whilst on the bus or train or at home without having to boot up the computer.
