I think this is a great idea that you have, any way to control A1C's is great.
Have you looked at the Ontario gov. Diabetes reg to see if you could link that to what you are working on??

- Hi Kristin,
Thank you for your kind greeting.
I would be please to answer your question. I have two connections to diabetes:
1) Working with others, I collaborate in the development and pilot of a wireless diabetes program to help improve / maintain sugar control among people with diabetes. Please let me explain, after taking a sugar reading (using the glucose meter,) this reading is then entered into their cell phone. These readings can be transmitted (using a clinical privacy protocol) and read by their healthcare professional (or others i.e. caregiver). If required the healthcare professional can transmit feedback back to the cell phone. In one pilot 20 patients were able to use their own cell phones and the diabetes educators / nurses captured the data and provided feedback using Bayer’s win GLUCOFACTS® software. At the completion of the pilot eighteen patients reduced their A1Cs
2) Another area is collecting data for healthcare market research. Using the internet, online surveys are programmed and data is collected for market researchers. One area I’m investigating is the best way to reach out to social networks focused on disease states (i.e. diabetes) to participate in these studies, determine the appropriate privacy measures, and find ways to contribute back to the social network and its members.
I hope this helps
Steve
