The population of diabetes patients has grown older in recent years; over 60 percent of such patients are now aged 60 or over*. Due to deteriorating vision and sense of touch, many elderly patients may feel that they have difficulty using their diabetes monitors for daily glucose measurements, so further improvements in readability and usability are called for.
The PlusTalk GO-9650 to be released from ARKRAY Inc. (hereafter ARKRAY) is a voice guidance device that can be used by simply attaching it to the self-monitoring blood glucose meter Glucocard G Black. Voice guidance for measurement operations and measurement result notifications corresponds to the screen display on the Glucocard G Black to facilitate blood glucose measurements by the patient.
ARKRAY is committed to developing products that respond to a broad range of needs in the field to improve QOL for the patient and to contribute with treatments for diabetes in day-to-day practice.
* According to the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Survey (MLHW)
