The company reports that this consists of individual measurement devices and metres that transmit measurement data via radio frequency to a PC or a PDA. Software processes the data and, on the basis of the results, generates the user’s personal health profile and returns this by e-mail. ‘Currently, devices to measure blood pressure (tenso-comfort), blood sugar levels (gluco-comfort) and weight and body fat (scaleo-comfort) are available. A further device to measure heart rate variability is planned,’ the firm says, adding that the system will be marketed in 2007.
