Diabetes Management
In February 2010, PositiveID acquired the intellectual property rights and assets of Easy Check Medical Diagnostics, LLC, to expand its portfolio of non-invasive glucose-level testing products and diabetes management tools that are currently under development.
The Easy Check breath glucose test is a non-invasive glucose detection system that measures acetone levels in a person's exhaled breath. The association between acetone levels in the breath and glucose is well documented, but previous data on the acetone/glucose correlation has been insufficient for reliable statistics. Easy Check's breath glucose detection system combines a proprietary chemical mixture with breath exhalate, which is intended to create a new molecular compound that can be measured with technology that is currently patent-pending. If successful, this product could eliminate a patient's need to prick his or her finger multiple times per day to get a blood sugar reading.
The iGlucose system uses wireless SMS technology to automatically communicate a diabetic's glucose readings to the iGlucose online database. iGlucose is intended to provide real-time data to improve diabetes management and help ensure patient compliance, data accuracy and insurance reimbursement.

Famous quotes containing the word management:
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
