A web application for blood glucose monitoring using the iPhone advantages

This paper aims to improve the real-time patient monitoring systems with Web view by its extension in those systems which display the results on a mobile phone and send them to the central server system. The research is based on the telemonitoring system, emphasizing on patient data acquisition and storing into a local database, data transmission and graphical presentation to the physician. The telemonitoring system has been tested on several diabetic people during the clinical trials performed within the DIAdvisor FP7 research project (DIAdvisor Project, 2010). Then it was made an analysis of the system developed for iPhone and the application called Glooko Logbook launched by Apple, displaying on a terminal the blood glucose levels. The novelty of the research is to develop methods of transmitting data from the iPhone to a web server that stores the information and its electronic mark so that no entry can be repeated, nor lost. The server will send the feedback to the iPhone when streaming was done successfully or not. If not all information could be sent the server will test the marks that were saved to avoid duplication. These test methods of the flow of information between local databases, that mean iPhone database and the server database provides accurate monitoring of this system.
