Last week, the domestic intelligent hardware circle carried out several interesting announcements at the same time: one was Tencent's release of WeChat blood glucose meter, one was that Zhiqu.com released the car empty net Camer, and one was that the startup team released the intelligence at that moment. mirror. Let's take a look at the blood glucose meter.
The so-called "WeChat" blood glucose meter
Tencent's WeChat blood glucose meter released a lot of people are concerned about their own love, sugar doctor, in fact, this release is a total of three: the first is the sugar doctor, the second is the Sanno blood glucose tester, the third The model is Yicheng's blood glucose meter.
The so-called WeChat blood glucose meter, compared with the traditional blood glucose meter, the biggest difference is that it is open to WeChat. The user's data can be managed on WeChat. The mobile phone can give the user a regular reminder. When the user's blood sugar is at risk, the user will be alerted. The reason why the sugar doctor is bright is that it is a product of WeChat's internal entrepreneurial team, but also because it is a blood glucose meter with a 4-inch color touch screen and an unobtrusive Tencare operating system.
The last big concern with WeChat with smart hardware was the first time that it was connected to the smart bracelet in July. At present, WeChat's hardware includes wearable (mainly bracelet), smart home (single product), smart home appliances (television), smart health (weight, blood sugar detection, etc.). The overall logic of WeChat hardware is nothing more than traditional hardware networking (adding app)->Intelligent, WeChat replaces app taking over hardware data and manipulation-> WeChat hardware.
Then according to this logic, can all the hardware be smart like WeChat?
Not everyone can do a blood glucose meter
Li Chengzhi, founder and general manager of Sugar Nurse, said in an interview with the author that doing a blood glucose meter is not as easy as doing a bracelet or a smart scale.
The sugar nurse is regarded as the earlier "smart" blood glucose meter in China. Regarding blood glucose testing, we can understand this process in a more general way: blood sampling -> react with test paper to form micro current -> read blood glucose value by AD conversion -> display with screen / app / WeChat.
Li Chengzhi said that the difficulty in making blood glucose meters in China is the biochemical technology of test strips. Only a few manufacturers in China have mastered the research and development and production of blood glucose test strips.
The author found from public information that domestic blood glucose test strips, imported manufacturers only Roche and Johnson, local manufacturers only a few, such as Sanno, Yicheng, Omron. Two industry insiders told Lei Feng that there are only 4-5 blood glucose test strips in China, and the first two are in absolute sales, that is, blood glucose test strips are a fairly monopolistic link.
The domestic blood glucose meter market is roughly divided into two channels, hospitals and OTC channels. Imported blood glucose meters are dominant in hospital channels, and most domestic blood glucose meters are sold in OTC channels. Li Chengzhi revealed that Sanno's annual sales of blood glucose meters in China is about 4 million units (the first in the market), while the sugar nurse's smart blood glucose meter has sold more than 30,000 units since its launch in April this year.
In addition to the core of the supply chain difficulties of such a blood glucose test strips, entrepreneurial teams want to do a blood glucose meter that there is a difficult medical certification. The production and sales of blood glucose meters require a separate CFDA license, and the application period for these certifications is at least 9 months.
The above determines that the blood glucose meter can only have a small number of players in China, and the entrepreneurial team cannot copy the "smart" blood glucose meter like a wristband or a smart scale.
What happens to WeChat + blood glucose meter?
Regardless of traditional blood glucose meters or smart blood glucose meters, one of the problems they face at this stage is how to treat patients with diabetes: what kind of disease is diabetes, how to control and adjust your body state, and how to periodically measure to help yourself better. Adjustment.
JRT usb interface distance sensor board adds a USB port to a Laser Distance Sensor, inexpensive laser distance measurement sensors, allowing customers directly using GBeacon-2.3-Fx.exe software to control the rangefinder sensor. Usb laser distance sensors are the the most popular model devices, it works by measuring the phase of an visible-red laser beam that reflects on the target. Usually, customers would like to choose CH341SER.EXE version to test.
