Devices that were once just toys for techies are now the favorite tools of many ex-technophobes &#8212; some who never used a computer before are now crazy about the iPad. And there are some great health care apps out there for e-patients. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The iPhone and iPad are changing the world of medical devices as we know it.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to their familiar interface, Web connectivity, and powerful<br \/>\nprocessing capabilities, with the right app and plug-in these iOS<br \/>\ndevices can work as super smart medical devices that make sharing as<br \/>\neasy as the push of a touchscreen button. Consumers can now access<br \/>\nincreasingly high-quality medical devices, making it easy to be more<br \/>\nactively engaged in their own health. And home and rural care givers<br \/>\ncan benefit from the portability and versatility of iPad and iPhone<br \/>\nbased devices.<\/p>\n<p>Below I\u2019ll discuss three examples of powerful iOS medical devices I\u2019ve<br \/>\nfound that already exist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"The Withings Blood Pressure Monitor\" src=\"http:\/\/img210.imageshack.us\/img210\/9196\/withings001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"136\" \/>1) The Withings Blood Pressure Monitor<\/p>\n<p>French company Withings<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.withings.com\/en\/bloodpressuremonitor\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.withings.com\/en\/bloodpressuremonitor<\/a>] developed this blood\u00a0pressure monitor that features an app and a cuff that fits most\u00a0average-sized people. Accurate data on your blood pressure can help\u00a0you monitor hypertension, which can lead to serious consequences for\u00a0your heart, brain and kidney. The Withings monitor can even work with\u00a0an iPod Touch, and runs at $129. You can use the device to share your\u00a0data with your doctor.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"ECEM Pulse Oximeter\" src=\"http:\/\/img688.imageshack.us\/img688\/7026\/pulseox2001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"137\" \/>2) ECEM Pulse Oximeter<\/p>\n<p>This device isn\u2019t yet available to the masses, but given its utility I<br \/>\nimagine it will be soon. It features a small clip that attaches to<br \/>\nyour fingertip. The clip beams a light through your fingertip to a<br \/>\nreceiver on the opposite side; the amount of light received is used to<br \/>\ndetermine how much oxygen is saturated in your blood. Developed by the<br \/>\nElectrical and Computer Engineering in Medicine<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phoneoximeter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.phoneoximeter.org\/<\/a>] research group together with the<br \/>\nPediatric Anesthesia Research Team at the University of British<br \/>\nColumbia, it was originally created to help make anesthesia care safer<br \/>\nin the developing world, but can also be useful to patients with heart<br \/>\nof lung problems such as emphysema.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"iBGStar Glucose Meter\" src=\"http:\/\/img593.imageshack.us\/img593\/6126\/glucosemonitor001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"137\" \/>3) iBGStar Glucose Meter<\/p>\n<p>From Sanofi-Aventis comes this glucose meter app and plug-in. The<br \/>\nglucose meter is a well-known device to anyone with diabetes. Today,<br \/>\ndiabetics test blood sugar with needles and a clunky kit; the iBGStar<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibgstar.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ibgstar.us\/<\/a>] offers a small add-on to the iPhone that\u2019s<br \/>\nsaid to give better, more accurate results. Plus, getting your data on<br \/>\nyour iPhone means you can share it easily, and you can get reminders<br \/>\non your iPhone when it\u2019s time for another check.<\/p>\n<p>For more discussion of the benefits of these iPhone and iPad based<br \/>\ndevices, plus commentary on two more devices not discussed here and<br \/>\ncommentary from an expert on medical devices, visit the Software<br \/>\nAdvice blog for the original article.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"iPhone ECG Electrocardiogram\" src=\"http:\/\/img196.imageshack.us\/img196\/1861\/alivekg001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"136\" \/>4) iPhoneECG Electrocardiogram<\/p>\n<p>This device has a simple setup: just snap a plastic case onto the back<br \/>\nof your iPhone and you&#8217;re ready to go. The case has two electrodes in<br \/>\nthe back that, when you press the phone against bare skin of your<br \/>\nthumbs or&#8211;for a better reading&#8211;your chest, can measure and track<br \/>\nyour pulse. It was built by Alivecor [<a href=\"http:\/\/alivecor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/alivecor.com\/<\/a>] and Oregon<br \/>\nScientific. It&#8217;s not perfect, since it admittedly gathers a limited<br \/>\namount of data on your heartbeat, meaning it can&#8217;t quite compete<br \/>\nagainst a real ECG. But for e-patients looking to get a good look at<br \/>\ntheir heartbeat or caregivers looking for a quick diagnostic, it might<br \/>\njust do the trick.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"MobiUS SP1 Ultrasound Imaging Device\" src=\"http:\/\/img687.imageshack.us\/img687\/1933\/mobisante001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"137\" \/>5) MobiUS SP1 Ultrasound Imaging Device<\/p>\n<p>OK, with a price tag of around $7,500, it&#8217;s still not quite a device<br \/>\nfor the masses. But this ultrasound peripheral and program still runs<br \/>\nlots cheaper than traditional machines, and does serve as a step in<br \/>\nthe road to democratizing access to patient information. Though the<br \/>\ndevice, from Mobisante [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobisante.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.mobisante.com\/<\/a>], doesn&#8217;t run on iOS<br \/>\nyet, I predict it will soon, since one major obstacle&#8211;the lack of a<br \/>\nUSB port in an iPad or an iPhone&#8211;will be eliminated in the latest<br \/>\nupgrade to the iPad coming out soon. Wi-Fi and cell connectivity mean<br \/>\nimages can be shared quickly from the device, meaning caregivers might<br \/>\nbe able to more easily, frequently, or quickly share data with<br \/>\npatients about their joey in the pouch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guest post from Katie Matlack (reposted from the free site Software Advice) launches a new section of e-Patients.net: &#8220;PM Tech.&#8221; This special branch of e-patient resources is gaining importance [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[21,1,4986],"tags":[4987,2269,408,1844,7711,2742],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-11454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-e-ptsresources","category-general","category-pm-tech","tag-health-it","tag-healthcare-information-technology","tag-new-ways","tag-patient-empowerment","tag-pm-tech","tag-using-tools"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
