Medlink for Diagnosing of Diabetes Mellitus, COPD, CHF, Myasthenia Gravis and Hypertension

MEDLINK IS A POCKET-SIZED MEDLINK is a pocket-sized, verbally interactive, programmable medical device that allows physicians to select which medical measurements they would like to take for a specific patient. The Physiological Parameters that can be measured by MEDLINK include, but is not limited to: Electrocardiography (ECG), Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Blood Glucose, Pulse Rate, Blood Oxygen Saturation (SPO2), Electromyography (EMG) body temperature, and Respiratory Data. MEDLINK is a pocket-sized, verbally interactive, programmable medical device that allows physicians to select which medical measurements they would like to take for a specific patient.

When the patient takes MEDLINK home and switches it on, the device verbally guides the patient to acquire the measurements requested by the his or her physician.

This information is transmitted to the physican's email for medical analysis, check up and/or follow up.

About this study

MEDLINK is a pocket-sized, verbally interactive, programmable medical device that allows physicians to select which medical measurements they would like to take for a specific patient. The Physiological Parameters that can be measured by MEDLINK include, but is not limited to: Electrocardiography (ECG), Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Blood Glucose, Pulse Rate, Blood Oxygen Saturation (SPO2), Electromyography (EMG) body temperature, and Respiratory Data. After programming of the device by the Physician, MEDLINK can be given to the desired patient to take home for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM).

When the patient switches on the device at home, MEDLINK verbally guides the patient to acquire the measurements requested by his or her Physician. This information is automatically and wirelessly transmitted to the Physician's Mobile Phone and Email Address for medical analysis, check up, and/or follow up. MEDLINK has its own software application that allows the Physician to view and analyse the measured Physiological Parameters for any Patient. MEDLINK also has the potential to allow Patient-Physician Communication during the RPM Period.

One of the key innovations of MEDLINK is that it is able to acquire a diverse range of physiological parameters. This makes it useful to physicians in different areas of specialization in the medical field. In addition to this, MEDLINK also accurately measures all Physiological Parameters of the Patient through a single digit finger being inserted into the appropriate position in the pocket-device, making it extremely easy to use. MEDLINK is the first medical device that performs blood glucose measurement using Infrared Technology, as opposed to the standardized lancet finger-pricking technology.

MEDLINK allows Physicians in any specialization to monitor patients outside of the hospital setting for as long as is needed. It can be used to monitor patients after they have been discharged from the hospital. It also allows individuals to have quality access to basic health care.

Ten Patients were recruited for this Study and tested the use of MEDLINK in measuring physiological parameters and providing remote access to basic health care.
