Title Using of the Glucometers Serial Interface by Sightless People
Authors Penhaker, Marek; Martinak, Lukas
Abstract Many of the personal diagnostic systems mainly glucometers (for measuring glucose) contain a serial interface for PC connection. Through this interface it is possible to receive useful data that will be used mainly for an attending physician’s purpose to evaluate the treatment process over a long time period and to set down further treatment procedures.For purblind or sightless diabetics people it is impossible to read the current data showed on displays of the personal diagnostic systems. Those who are sightless need a help of another person at disposal when measuring. The newly designed unique electronic construction in conjunction with the personal diagnostic system enables a purblind or a sightless people to identify measured data and use them suitable for the further treatment processes. The purblind or sightless people will be able to perform selfmonitoring (observation of disease trend and a dosage adjustment by a person himself).
