Abstract

Abstract A system and apparatus for efficient medical control of a medical condition such as diabetes comprises a recorder, an interface and a master computer. The master computer develops a programme of therapy which is downloaded into the recorder which then reminds the patient of any therapy due and records that the therapy has been effected. The record from the recorder is subsequently fed back to the master computer to improve or alter the therapy programme.
