Abstract

A transtelephonic process and storage apparatus (10) for use with a blood sugar monitor or like standalone monitoring apparatus having an output port to download acquired digital data signals is disclosed. The apparatus (10) has a memory (18), a controlling (14), a transducer (17) and an output (12), wherein the downloaded acquired digital is converted into audio transmission signals by the transducer (17), and the audio transmission signal is stored in memory (18) for delayed transmission over a telephone network.

Claims

1. A transtelephonic process and storage apparatus for use with a blood sugar monitor or like standalone monitoring apparatus having an output port to download acquired digital data signals, said apparatus having memory means, a control means, a transducer means and output means, wherein said downloaded acquired digital is converted into audio transmission signals by said transducer means, said audio transmission signal being stored in said memory means for delayed transmission over a telephone network and wherein said control means controlling the operation of said apparatus.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the transducer means converts the data into signals which are sent to a speaker output as audio signals.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the audio signals are transmitted over the telephone network to a remote receiving station which decodes and analyses the received audio signals.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the apparatus has switching means to activate the transmission of the audio signals from said memory means.
