Metrological Support of Individual Blood Glucose Meters in Telemedicine

The state and problems of the metrological support of personal blood glucose monitors – glucometers, have been examined and analyzed. It is shown that at present glucometers, like other individual measuring instruments for medical applications, are unsuitable for use in the field of telemedicine since there is no metrological support for such measuring instruments. The main problem is the lack of reliable methods and means of remote verification, calibration and transmission of measurement results to medical institutions. The article proposes a method for remote verification of glucometers based on the use of a set of electrical resistances, the values of which correlate with the measured concentration of glucose in the blood. The proposed method has been successfully tested in practice.
