The dotcom revolution may have fizzled out, but interesting new ideas keep
popping up. Aradigm of California is patenting a system that helps diabetic
people use the Internet to stabilise their glucose levels (WO 01/59570).
Although diabetics can already use glucose monitors and a PC to store data on
how their levels vary, there is no agreed standard for data collection and
analysis. A new website will recognise the type of monitor connected to a PC,
analyse glucose level data and ask the patient for information on meals eaten
and side effects. The site then offers advice on what patients are doing right
and wrong.
