Hand-held remote medical instrument, genetically modified mini pet pig and insect-resistant cotton using biotechnology etc., bio-industry and genetic science previously give us the senses of mystery and abstruseness. But a few days ago, at the Fifth Bioindustry Convention held in Shenzhen, a variety of new bio-tech products was introduced, which give us a feeling that the biotechnology is getting closer to our daily life.
At this convention, "blood glucose collector" and "remote blood pressure monitor" launched by Shenzhen New Element Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. allow people to see doctors at home. After the blood glucose content is collected and measured, the value will be automatically transmitted to the cell phone via Bluetooth then to the central control center of the cooperative hospital in real time by GPRS. The application of Remote & Mobile Healthcare Monitoring Platform completely changes the traditional medical mode.
