Alere's patented biometric measurement device features an easy-to-use interactive display

Alere® DayLink® Monitor
The Alere DayLink® monitor is a biometric measurement device with an easy-to-use interactive display and communications appliance. Placed in a patient's home, the DayLink monitor gathers the patient's weight as well as answers to pre-programmed questions regarding their symptoms.
The monitor is accurate to 1/10th of a pound and its scale platform is similar in size to a standard bathroom scale. The platform has been designed to sit on any flat surface, including carpet. To use the DayLink® monitor, a patient just steps onto the platform. Once a patient's weight has been captured, the DayLink® monitor asks physician-specified questions about the patient's symptoms via an audible voice and visual display. The patient answers the questions by pressing YES or NO keys. Accurate measurements and patient responses are automatically sent, using the patient's regular phone line for daily review. The DayLink monitor is available in English, Spanish and Braille.
