SAN DIEGO, June 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the weeks following the
introduction of the MyGlucoHealth App for mobile diabetes management on
the Ovi Store by Nokia, worldwide downloads are approaching 150,000 and
increasing daily. The MyGlucoHealth App allows Nokia handset users to
upload and manage blood glucose readings using the MyGlucoHealth
Wireless meter.
"To date, India, Saudi Arabia and the Middle East have shown the
highest number of downloads and use of the application outside of the
United States," said John Hendel, Chairman of Entra Health Systems.
"Strong response from Spain, Mexico and a number of South American
nations has encouraged us to accelerate Spanish language localization
and distribution of the product. The same is true in the European
Community, where adoption of the MyGlucoHealth App has been especially
strong in Italy, France, Germany and Great Britain. In recent weeks,
downloads from Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam has directed our focus
on broader distribution and language support throughout the Asia
Pacific."
The MyGlucoHealth App empowers patients to stay connected, manage their
diabetes and improve their lives and lifestyles using the MyGlucoHealth
Wireless meter and Nokia phone. The App allows users to wirelessly
upload blood tests to an online portal, review results on their
handset, as well as chart data or enter weight and nutritional
information. In addition, MyGlucoHealth can notify family, physicians
or caregivers with automated text message alerts and reminders when
results exceed personally established threshold limits.

are teaming to co-market integrated mHealth solutions that employ the
MyGlucoHealth Wireless blood glucose meter. The MyGlucoHealth Mobile
App is available for free through Ovi Store at www.store.ovi.com for
