From tracking exercise, diet, and blood pressure, iPhone has steeped up the ladder for the anxious parents. Lifescan Inc. of Milipitas, Calif., have uncovered one more gem from iPhone, which allows parents to monitor their children’s glucose level. The curious thing is that the tracker can do it even from a distance. It is a pioneer in this respect.

The prototype was debuted at launching of new iPhone’s operating system in Cupertino, Calif. Anita Mathew, LifeScan’s manager for alliances and corporate development, demonstrate how a child could download reading from glucose monitor using the application. The reading is then used to calculate the amount of insulin required for the child’s daily activity as well as sharing with their parents and medical officers at a remote location. But this fantastic apparatus is not going to hit the shelves until it has been certified by the Food and Drug Administration.

Thanks to a growth in inventions, medical tools are getting innovative by the day.
