Patient Get 'Connected'

-Computerized sensors to monitor the health of patients are here. St. Mary's Hospital in London used computerized sensors to monitor diabetic patients.The devices, invented by scientists at Imperial College London (ICL), are powered by Pentium processors and can measure changes in an individual's condition and send the at to doctors using a Bluetooth connection and a mobile phone link.Text messages will alert medical staff if a Patient's blood-sugar level drops below the minimum.The inventors are aiming for next level:the sensors will eventually be linked with an insulin pump controlled by a doctor.-Patient Get 'Connected'
