DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - April 25, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - PositiveID Corporation's (
OTCBB:PSID)
iglucose was named a finalist in the Healthcare and Wellness Category
of CTIA's annual Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Awards competition. The
CTIA E-Tech Awards honor the most innovative new products in 15
categories spanning the areas of mobile apps, consumer electronics,
enterprise and infrastructure. Winners, including Best in Show and Best
Online Pick, will be announced on Wednesday, May 9 at 2:00 p.m. CDT by
Jon Fortt, technology correspondent for CNBC on the Exhibit Innovations
Stage at International CTIA WIRELESS, taking place May 8--10, 2012 at
the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
Hundreds of entries were judged by a panel of recognized industry
experts, media and analysts and scored on innovation, functionality,
technological importance, implementation and overall "wow" factor.
"We are honored iglucose was chosen as a finalist among entries
from much larger companies including Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, HTC,
Motorola, Nokia Siemens, Samsung, Qualcomm and others," stated Mary
Ellen Harrison, Vice President of Health ID at PositiveID.
Simplicity sets iglucose apart from other mobile health solutions.
iglucose can be used by consumers of any technical skill level. It is
easy to use and conveniently fits within a pocket or purse. Usability
tests conducted as
part
of the iglucose FDA review process demonstrated 100 percent of
consumers were able to use the device regardless of their age. After
initial enrollment there are no technology requirements for the end
user. Consumers simply connect their glucometer to iglucose and push a
button. The iglucose system creates a variety of reports and
communicates according to each individual's preferences via online
access, email, fax or SMS text.
PositiveID's FDA-cleared iglucose uses mobile technology to
revolutionize the way individuals with diabetes manage their condition.
By seamlessly communicating data from glucometers to the iglucose
diabetes management portal, glucose readings can be shared with family
members and healthcare professionals, making it possible to improve care
in a cost-effective manner. iglucose eliminates the burden of keeping
logbooks and empowers individuals with diabetes to be more engaged in
the self-management of their condition. Family members have greater
peace of mind; now parents of children with diabetes can receive text
messages to let them know their children are testing while at school.
iglucose does not require the use of a cell phone or a wireless plan.
Between now and May 8, website visitors may vote for the "Best
Online Pick" at www.ctiashow.com/awards. International CTIA WIRELESS
show attendees will vote onsite via text message for entries in the
E-Tech Awards showcase in Booth 4575 at the Emerging Technology Zone to
win "Best in Show."
