Abstract

Un procédé de collecte de valeurs mesurées de glycémie relevées par un patient au moyen d'un compteur de glycémie à autocontrôle (1) comprend la transmission des valeurs mesurées de glycémie depuis le compteur de glycémie (1) à un dispositif d'interface SMS (10). Le dispositif (10) est doté d'une interface d'entrée (11) vers le compteur de glycémie (1), d'un moyen (13) destiné à stocker temporairement les valeurs mesurées, d'un moyen (14) destiné à stocker de façon permanente ou semi-permanente au moins un numéro de téléphone de destination, correspondant à un téléphone GSM de destination (51) ou un centre de collecte de données (50), et une interface de sortie (15) vers un téléphone cellulaire GSM d'origine (16). Le dispositif (10) crée un SMS lequel contient les données mesurées et un code d'identification du patient, et lequel est envoyé au centre de collecte de données (50). Ensuite, le SMS est transmis, par l'intermédiaire de l'interface de sortie (15), vers le téléphone cellulaire GSM d'origine (16), et celui-ci est activé pour transmettre le SMS au téléphone GSM de destination (51). Ensuite, le téléphone GSM de destination (51) reçoit le SMS. Le téléphone GSM de destination (51) est doté d'une interface de communication avec un ordinateur (52), appartenant au centre de collecte (50). Un programme de gestion chargé dans le processeur électronique (52) passe périodiquement en revue le téléphone GSM de destination (51) et en extrait le SMS contenant les données mesurées, afin de les organiser selon un critère prédéterminé.
