Blood Glucose Monitoring
Cellular Glucometer for Remote Patient Monitoring
HealthArc’s cellular glucometer turns every fingerstick into a data point your care team can act on. Results appear in seconds, transmit automatically over the mobile network, and land in the same dashboard as the patient’s blood pressure and weight.

Overview
Why Remote Glucometer Monitoring Works
Diabetes management lives or dies on what happens between appointments. A quarterly A1c tells you where a patient has been; it does not tell you that they have been running low every morning for three weeks, or that a new medication stopped working ten days after it was started.
A connected glucometer closes that loop. HealthArc’s meter is built for the realities of the population: older patients, patients without smartphones, patients with limited dexterity or vision. It has a large high-contrast display, a fast result and cellular transmission that requires nothing from the patient beyond taking the test.
Glucose monitoring anchors RPM for diabetes, and pairs naturally with CCM and MTM when regimens are complex. Every device in the HealthArc device family reports into one dashboard and one monthly billing record, not a separate portal per vendor.
Device Features
Built for Clinical Programs, Not Consumers
A compact, high-contrast cellular blood glucose meter designed for diabetes RPM programs, with results in seconds and no smartphone, app or pairing required.
Results in Seconds
Fast measurement reduces the friction that causes patients to skip tests, which is the single biggest predictor of whether a glucose program produces usable data.
Large High-Contrast Display
Large print and strong contrast keep readings legible for older adults and patients with visual impairment, reducing misread results.
Compact and Portable
Small enough for a pocket or bag, so testing continues when patients travel, work or spend the day away from home.
Automatic Cellular Transmission
Results move to the platform over 4G without an app, a pairing step or a manual logbook, which removes transcription error entirely.
Hypo- and Hyperglycemia Alerts
Readings outside the range you set for that patient trigger an alert, so dangerous lows surface immediately rather than at the next visit.
Encrypted End to End
Readings are encrypted in transit and at rest inside HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, with a full audit trail for each transmission.
How It Works
From the Patient’s Home to Your Dashboard
Four steps, none of which require the patient to own a smartphone, install anything or report a number to anyone.
1
The device ships activated
HealthArc procures, configures and ships the glucometer directly to the patient, along with enrollment support and training. It works out of the box, and there’s no pairing sequence for your staff to talk anyone through.
2
The patient takes a reading
One action. No app to open, no account to sign into. That simplicity is what keeps adherence intact past the first few weeks.
3
Data transmits over cellular automatically
The reading moves to the HealthArc platform over the mobile network, encrypted and time-stamped. That happens in seconds. Nothing is transcribed by hand, so nothing is mistyped or forgotten.
4
Your team reviews, acts and bills
Readings are checked against the thresholds you set for that patient, alerts route to the care team, and monitoring days plus management time accumulate into a billing-ready monthly record.
Specifications
Glucometer Specifications
What the device measures, how it connects, and what the patient has to do. The short answer to the last one is: take the reading.
No apps. No pairing. No Wi-Fi. Cellular connectivity is the reason HealthArc programs can enroll patients who don’t own a smartphone or have home broadband. Typically the highest-risk patients in the panel.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the glucometer need a phone or app?
No. It transmits over its own cellular connection. Patients test as they normally would, and the result reaches the care team automatically. There’s no app to install, no pairing, and nothing to sync.
Are test strips and lancets included?
Yes. Strips and lancets are supplied as part of the monitoring kit and resupplied on an ongoing basis, so patients are not left unable to test because they ran out.
How is this different from a continuous glucose monitor?
A glucometer captures a precise reading at a moment the patient chooses. A continuous glucose monitor captures readings automatically throughout the day and night, showing overnight lows and post-meal excursions a fingerstick would miss. Many programs use both, for different patients.
Which CPT codes apply to glucose monitoring?
The standard RPM codes (99453, 99454, 99457 and 99458) apply when the program meets CMS requirements for device type, transmission days and management time. Our CPT code library covers the current thresholds.
Can readings flow into our EHR?
Yes. HealthArc maintains bi-directional HL7 FHIR integrations with major EHR systems, so glucose data and care-manager documentation appear in the patient chart rather than in a separate portal.
