Looks like the latest iPhone feature will allow parents to check their kids’ blood glucose level from afar, according to U.S. News & World Report. That would add to the plethora of health-related functions already available on iPhone applications. But this is the first that monitors remotely, the magazine says.
And a prototype is already out there: It was just unveiled out on the West Coast.
Obvioulsy, this is marketed for kids with diabetes. And, in that regard, it’s a marvelous and valuable technological development. It could easily save lives.

There’s also a blood-pressure remote function on the way, and other medical tools in the works.
Clearly, these aren’t limited to children, but it certainly helps parents of kids with related health issues breathe a sigh of relief. And the way things are going, my son will probably be using this technology to keep tabs on me in the years to come.
