Use Telemedicine to Track Diabetes Symptoms

By David Mendosa, Health Guide Friday, February 23, 2007

More than 10,000 people are using the Commander system now, Tom says. Some of their key clients are Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina; Blue Cross of Idaho;
Sharp HealthCare in San Diego; Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s largest, integrated provider of dialysis products and services for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD); and AvMed Health Plans in Florida. In addition several Medicare demonstration projects are ongoing.

Cardiocom designed the system for people with “multiple comorbidities” who need what he calls “multiple biometric measurements.” In other words, they need to keep track of a lot of things related to their health. The biggest percentage of them have congestive heart failure, but many of these people also have diabetes.

If in addition to diabetes you have other conditions like heart failure, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or coronary artery disease (CAD), the Commander system could be just what you need. For more information you can contact one of the regional sales managers like Tom Backman.
