Home Medical Testing Kits - Overview and Recommendations (video)

 I really like this MSNBC video, "Medical Testing At Home." It provides an introduction to home testing and includes some important tips, such as:

• Read the label and instructions carefully
• Use only FDA-approved tests
• Follow all instructions
• Keep good testing records
• Call the 800 number for questions

I was surprised by the breadth of tests available, for example, blood pressure, blood sugar, drugs of abuse, cholesterol, fertility, etc. In some cases, brand recommendations are made.

Wow! This New Home TeleHealth Device Brings The Future Closer

The future keeps getting closer. I never knew Intel had a hand in the home health care management arena for folks with chronic medical conditions. The FDA just approved their Intel Personal Health System. This is really exciting for me to read because over the last couple of decades, health care systems have attempted to connect to patients in their home via telemedicine or video devices with various degrees of success. What's going to be really important is how these kind of devices will get integrated with what will become the power players in the personal health record space. What I mean is, offerings like Google Health, and Microsoft HealthVault.
