Abstract: The object of the present invention is a patient's nursing apparatus (2), which comprises reminding devices (4) for transmitting a predetermined reminding signal to a user of the apparatus at a predetermined point of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for taking and analysing liquid samples, such as blood samples, wherein a liquid, absorbed by a porous material, is analysed optically. The apparatus, according to the invention, comprises a store (2) for measurement strips that receive samples and have been interconnected so that they can be disconnected, the store having a compound construction, a measurement strip feeding mechanism (3) and a blood analyzer (4). The apparatus has preferably been integrated into a casing (1), which can be connected as part of a mobile telephone or a corresponding device.

Abstract: Monitoring equipment including means for receiving a measurement result indicating the patient's blood glucose level, and for staring it in a first memory means. In order to improve and facilitate the treatment of the patient, the monitoring equipment further includes means for receiving data concerning the patient's diet, medication and physical strain, and for storing it in the first memory means, data processing means for calculating a predictive value on the basis of the data stored in the first memory means, and corrector means for calculating the difference between the calculated predictive value and the patient's actual blood glucose level, and for correcting the mathematical model utilized to calculate the predictive value in order to take into account the aforementioned difference in subsequent calculations of predictive values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the health of a patient by utilizing measurements. In order to improve the contact between the patient and the person treating him, the results of the measurements are supplied via a communications device (1) utilizing a wireless data transmission link to a data processing system (9) available to the person monitoring the patient's health, and the patient's health is monitored by means of the data stored in the data processing system (9).
