Vodafone is offering Internet of Things (IoT) network to Smart Meter, a mobile health (mHealth) services provider for diabetes management, to address its customer demand in more than 160 countries.

Via Vodafone’s IoT network, iGlucose blood glucose meter wirelessly sends blood glucose readings and other information to a personal web portal. The person with diabetes and their care circle can access trend reports, digital logbooks and updated information in the web portal.

iGlucose platform provides personalized accessibility between people with diabetes and their Circle of Care by automatically sending glucose readings via text message or email to family members or other designees.

“Connected technologies are transforming healthcare, from providing better care to improving research and development. One area that I believe is ideally placed to benefit from this kind of technology is helping patients to fully commit to their treatment plans,” Vodafone Group’s Director of IoT Ivo Rook said.

Vodafone’s global network and the Vodafone Global IoT SIM means Smart Meter can provide these services around the world with confidence without being distracted with the task of country-by-country IT integration.
