Abstract: Many physicians, including endocrinologist and internist, have expressed great interest in such a monitoring devise. In a medical office, a doctor could use MyPersonalLab to determine the quantitative value of various blood electrolytes to diagnose and treat a multitude of metabolic diseases much faster, and therefore alleviating a patient's suffering that much faster. At home, the average individual could use MyPersonalLab to monitor his/her own disease state or medical condition. If they detected a value that their doctor previously determined was abnormal, they could then alert their physician of the concern. One might think that the clinical laboratory establishment would be highly opposed to such a devise, citing that it would reduce their traffic and hurt their business.
