  2. (Basic glucometers): Information is processed by the computer chip. • Semi-advanced glucometers have a port for the transfer of information to another computer. • Information is sent to the display for viewing.

  3. How It Works • Blood sample reaction-> electrical signals • Signals-> sensor->CPU • CPU processing/storage ClipArt http://farasbee.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sensor.jpg http://www.zaccaria-pinball.com/gen1/images/1B1110.jpg

  4. How It Works • CPU-> display • (Advanced) CPU-> Port-> separate CPU. • Processing/Storage http://www.zaccaria-pinball.com/gen1/images/1B1110.jpg http://www.pulsatom.com/assets/images/ace_glucometer.jpg ClipArt

  5. Parts of a Glucometer • Display • Sensor • Port • CPU

  6. Display http://www.pulsatom.com/assets/images/ace_glucometer.jpg • Output • Means of communication info to user. • Most modern = LCD.

  7. Sensor • Input • Chemical reaction => electrical signals • Sensor picks up, relays to CPU. http://farasbee.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sensor.jpg

  8. Port • Input/ Output • More advanced glucometers. • Allow outside communication. http://th04.deviantart.net/fs48/PRE/i/2009/198/3/c/Computer_Ports_by_doctormo.png

  9. CPU • Processing/Input/Output • Process data from sensor => display/storage • Possible communication. http://www.zaccaria-pinball.com/gen1/images/1B1110.jpg

  10. Diabetes Management Software • Glucometer paired with software. • Collect and process data. • Produce alerts. http://www.bayercontour.com/Blood-Glucose-Monitoring/DiabetesManagementSoftware/Glucofacts-Deluxe/Screens/Screen2

  12. MedStar Health Hospitals https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-gz8QXGOOfio/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAP0/iZh4eB-gHrk/photo.jpg • Misleading glucometer alert. • Wrong treatment => critical condition.

  13. Medical Staff Advantage • Patient vital tracking improved. • More effective for more people. ClipArt

  14. Medical Staff Disadvantage • Additional training necessary for use. • Increased stress levels due to machines. ClipArt

  15. Patient Advantage • Patient monitoring => increased information availability. • Increased info access => improved quality of care. ClipArt

  16. Patient Disadvantages • Incorrect use => health issues arise. • May result from communication error. • Potential for life-threatening situation. ClipArt

  17. People and Machines • Main social/ethical issue. • Ineffective communication. • Trust and usefulness down. http://blogs.swa-jkt.com/swa/10472/files/2012/09/machines-vs-humans_65.jpeg

  18. Reliability • Malfunction => Life-threatening. • Ties to People and Machines https://moodle.isdbd.org/mahara/artefact/file/download.php?file=12352&view=2405

  19. Standards and Protocols • Variation between models/manufacturers. • Operation/communication difficulty • Contribution to People and Machines http://www.motor-engineer.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ACS-Standard-1024x959.png
