MyCareTeam Announces Diabetes Software Integration with Google Health

May 20, 2008 - PRLog -- MyCareTeam, Inc., a leading vendor of Internet-based diabetes management software, has announced an integrated service on the Google Health platform. Google launched Google Health today at a media event at its headquarters in Mountain View, CA. The new product allows users to store, organize, and manage their medical records online.

MyCareTeam’s diabetes management software, MCT-Diabetes, integrated with Google Health, will allow consumers to securely transfer diabetes related information to and from their Google Health accounts.

“We are very excited about the opportunity to integrate our diabetes product with Google Health.” said Jim Mingle, CEO of MyCareTeam. “Our users can now safely transfer their glucose readings, lab values, medication, and other information from our software into their Google Health accounts.

MCT-Diabetes is a behavior modification tool that allows individuals with diabetes and their care providers to collaborate and monitor glucose levels across the Internet. The product facilitates collaboration, which improves the long-term management of diabetes. The intuitive, easy-to-use software application provides an opportunity for the patient to decide who (care providers, family members, and friends) can have access to the patient’s data and communicate with each other. Patients who do not wish to share access with care providers can print reports and graphs and take them to appointments for review.

MyCareTeam, Inc. recently received 510K Clearance from the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for MCT-Diabetes. The company pursued the rigorous certification process in order to provide its consumer base with an enhanced diabetes monitoring product that is certified by the FDA. MCT-Diabetes is one of the first software-only diabetes management companies to receive FDA clearance in the United States. MCT-Diabetes is available directly from MyCareTeam on a monthly or annual subscription membership basis. Visit the company’s website at www.mycareteam.com for more information.
