iBGStar brings blood glucose meter to iPhone

iBGStar is a compact blood glucose attachment for iPhone and iPod touch that makes manifest Apple's iOS 3 promise of a new generation of medical apps.

The innovative iBGStar™ is the first available blood glucose meter that seamlessly connects to the iPhone® and iPod touch® allowing you to view and analyse accurate, reliable information in ‘real time’. Using the technology built into your iPhone® or iPod® touch, you can share this information with your healthcare professional while on-the-go, to help you make better-informed diabetes-related decisions together.

It's taken a while, and we'd love to see more of these types of solution, but it shows just how far ahead Apple and iOS remain in areas like accessibility and medical integration.
