AR28 GlucoHand® – Digital Glucometer Simulator
Adam,Rouilly is delighted to announce its latest product innovation, the GlucoHand® – Glucometer Simulator.
Diabetes affects some 415 million people globally and it is expected to affect one person in 10 by 2040, raising this international figure to 642 million. In the UK an estimated 4.5 million people live with diabetes. Effective diabetes management is now a growing part of those general skills which all clinicians must possess.
Blood glucose monitoring remains key in managing diabetes. In collaboration with Nina Godson, Senior and Lead for Clinical Skills at Coventry University, the GlucoHand® has been developed in recognition of this rising disease. It aids the understanding
and teaching of blood sampling and the interpretation of glucose level data and its implications in patient treatment planning. The GlucoHand® also facilitates patient education, as approximately 700 people a day in the UK are diagnosed with diabetes.
