Electronic network links patients to doctors worldwide
Electronic network links patients to doctors worldwide : "Lisa Fao, who has been living with diabetes for a decade, has two lifelines.
One is a reservoir pump infusion set -- a small pager-sized device she carries with her to administer a controlled dose of insulin when she needs it.
Fao is also linked to another lifeline developed through her employer, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
UPMC HealthTrak, a secure Internet portal that lets patients communicate with their doctors from anywhere in the world, was launched in the fall of 2003 for diabetes patients. Initially, 200 patients were linked to the system. Today, there are more than 1,000. "
