WOLLONGONG WIRELESS

The Bayview medical centre in Wollongong, Australia has just finished a trial of Multimedia, a GPRS wireless application that allows patients with diabetes to manage their condition by sending blood sugar readings to their doctors via mobile phone.

During the trial, patients were able to self-monitor their condition so that information could be reviewed by their doctor and appropiate treatment recommended over the phone so they didn't have to visit the medical clinic for readings.

In the future, third generation telecommunications networks and applications like MMS will enable patients to do even more. For example, video-conference directly with their doctors from their homes.
