>> FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION: "COULD
THE CELL PHONE ACTUALLY HELP
BRING THE PATIENT AND THE
PROVIDER CLOSER TOGETHER?"
BUT NOT JUST TO TRANSMIT DATA.
NO DOCTOR WANTS TO BE
OVERWHELMED WITH ALL THIS DATA
COMING FROM THEIR PATIENTS.
COULD THE CELL PHONE ACTUALLY
ACT AS A VIRTUAL COACH AND HELP
THAT PATIENT, WHEN THEY WEREN'T
IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE, MANAGE
THE THINGS THAT THEIR DOCTOR
WOULD WANT, TO MANAGE THEM AS
THOUGH THE DOCTOR WAS IN THEIR
POCKET KIND OF THING.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS OUR
DIABETES MANAGER APPLICATION.
IT'S LUNCHTIME ALMOST.
LET'S SAY THAT THEY CHECK THEIR
BLOOD GLUCOSE AND THEY'RE
FEELING A LITTLE TIRED, MAYBE
SHAKY, SIGNS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA.
LET'S SAY THE NUMBER WAS 58.
WHAT THE PHONE WILL ACTUALLY DO
IS IT'LL TELL IT RIGHT AWAY,
FIRST OF ALL IT'S A LOW.
WELL, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT YOU
DIDN'T MAKE A TYPOGRAPHICAL
ERROR.
YOU KNOW, IS THIS CORRECT?
WELL, YES IT IS.
THE BEST PRACTICE IS NOW TO
TREAT THIS, NOT JUST GO AND EAT
BECAUSE THE MEAL MAY NOT
ACTUALLY CONTAIN THE RIGHT
FAST-ACTING CARBS AS YOU SEE
HERE ON THE SCREEN.
SO, THE ADA BEST PRACTICE IS,
OKAY, NOW TREAT THIS FIRST USING
THE 15/15 RULE.
SO, 15 GRAMS OF ACTING CARBS,
RE-CHECK IN FIFTEEN MINUTES.
IT ACTUALLY THEN WALKS YOU
THROUGH EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU CAN
ACTUALLY CONSUME.
AGAIN, VERY FRIENDLY EVEN ON A
SIMPLE PHONE YOU CAN IMAGINE ON
AN IPHONE OR AN ANDROID THE
RICHNESS OF THE EXPERIENCE--BUT
EVEN ON A PHONE LIKE THIS,
IT'S--IT'S FAIRLY A NICE, EASY
USER INTERFACE.
IT THEN STARTS A TIMER, AND IT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE EVEN IF THE
PATIENT SHUTS THE PHONE OFF,
WE'LL TURN THE PHONE BACK ON AND
REMIND THEM IT'S TIME TO
RE-TEST.
AND OF COURSE, THIS IS ALL
HAPPENING RIGHT HERE ON
THE HANDSET.
THE--THE PHONE DOESN'T NEED TO
SEE THE NETWORK BECAUSE--
