KeyTools today announced it has released an updated version of its mobile integration software for the HemoCue B-Glucose and Haemoglobin analysers. This release of software adds new functionality, including the provision of an advanced search capability, and is now operating system independent.
HemoCue B-Glucose and Haemoglobin analysers are mobile devices employed in South African clinics and hospitals for the purpose of quickly and accurately measuring glucose and haemoglobin values in human blood. This data needs to be extracted from the units for statistical and billing purposes.
KeyTools provides the compliant software to extract this data to a PDA with synchronisation functionality. Users can now use an inexpensive and mobile device to download information from the units and synchronise the PDA, thus facilitating the direct sending of data to laboratories.
"Having originally offered a radical new capability to the medical field with the initial version of this software back in 2002, users now have a much better understanding of how mobile technology can add value to their businesses," commented Richard Chalk, Founder and CEO of KeyTools International.
"Mobile technology has stabilised over the last two years and thus users are in a significantly better position to exploit the latest capabilities. We are delighted to be associated with these exciting ongoing developments and to be one of the major worldwide software enablers for mobile applications."

HemoCue, Inc offers medical diagnostic products for point-of-care testing. The fundamental concept behind the HemoCue products is to perform common blood tests near the patient with the same accuracy and precision as a central clinical laboratory.
The HemoCue B-Haemoglobin system was introduced in the early 1980s. HemoCue, Inc, a subsidiary of HemoCue AB, was founded in the US in 1989. The HemoCue B-Glucose system was introduced on a worldwide basis in the beginning of the 1990s. Since the introduction, over 140 000 B-Haemoglobin and B-Glucose instruments have been installed globally.
In December 1999, HemoCue was acquired by EQT (www.eqt.se). The HemoCue Plasma/Low Haemoglobin Analyser was introduced in 2000.
The HemoCue product line is sold in more than 75 countries through a highly effective organisation consisting of independent distributor partners and subsidiaries. HemoCue is a company that has developed a keen sensitivity for the needs of customers in primary healthcare settings and a focus on preventative health care opportunities. Given current global trends in these areas, EQT products will continue to provide valuable opportunities on a worldwide basis for the foreseeable future.
