GravidPluss:Comparison of BloodSugar Devices

Status 27Oct2014

 * 1) J&J: last mail: they are not able to deliver the Verio Sync to Europe. Only the US market. No Bluetooth supporting device in the pipeline for 2015/2016
 * 2) iHealth: up to now the SDK sends everything to the cloud. Dismissed due to privacy concerns.
 * 3) modz.fi - not considered as of now, due to direct connectivity
 * 4) Freestyle Libre: Mirjam does not agree with this solution.
 * 5) Fora care: these are the only devices we received. Serhat has one of them.
 * 6) MyGlucoHealth Meter from Entra Health Systems, curatec.dk contacted by Josef

 * 1) J&J: nothing new. Josef will have a call with them. - % called, and send email
 * 2) iHealth: Josef sent an email to clarify about the last slide on Developer Guidance of iHealth cloud(f).pdf - % talked to Louie: There are other customers/countries with privacy concern. But the current version does not support phone only connectivity. Though the measurement device connects either with Bluetooth or with Wifi direct to the phone, the SDK implies a direct connection to the cloud.
 * 3)  modz.fi - not considered as of now, due to direct connectivity
 * 4) Freestyle Libre: new way of measuring the blood sugar level. Instead of using strips the new technology is using a nfc device that is always attached to the skin and it measures the blood sugar level once an hour. Each time the user puts their device next to the pad the last measurements are transferred to the device. What we do not know clearly is how it will communicate with our app.
