Case Study: LifeScan achieves real-time, wireless glucose data transfer with Lantronix

LifeScan improves point-of-care glucose monitoring with Lantronix for 11–12 daily tests

LifeScan, a leading maker of blood glucose monitoring systems, faced a challenge in implementing tight glycemic control protocols. The practice required frequent patient testing and timely data transfer, but the power consumption of standard 802.11 wireless technology posed a significant design and workflow hurdle. LifeScan partnered with Lantronix to find a solution.

Lantronix developed a custom, battery-powered version of its WiBox technology to create the OneTouch DataLink Wireless Unit. This solution provided the necessary security and flexibility for real-time data reporting, enabling more frequent patient monitoring. The results included an improved level of care, adherence to compliance standards, and greater operational efficiency for hospital staff, allowing Lantronix's technology to make a measurable impact on patient outcomes.
