Some Interesting Products Showcased At IFA, Berlin

Medisana AG , a manufacturer of health appliances, has brought its devices for measuring blood pressure and glucose levels, as well as its ‘VitaDock’ range of scales and thermometers, under one roof, or more accurately, in the VitaDock cloud. Physicians and insurance companies can read the data held on the various devices from the patient cloud.

All VitaDock devices are connected to an iPhone, iPad or iPod. The more traditional instruments such as the blood pressure monitors, scales and thermometers are now provided with a micro-USB connection, to enable data to be fed to mobile terminals too or to PCs. The ‘Smart Baby Monitor’ is a camera connected to the internet, which can relay movements or noises to enable parents to keep a close watch on their children. When night falls the camera automatically switches to an infra-red mode.
