LIFESTREAM UNVEILS PROTOTYPE FOR NEW LOW COST MONITOR

Lifestream Technologies, a supplier of cholesterol monitors, has unveiled a concept product at the recent FDA hearing on an OTC petition for a cholesterol lowering drug. Lifestream has filed a patent application for its new product that reduces the cost for devices used for both the pharmacy and home testing. The technology under development looks like a computer mouse and embodies Lifestream's optic module and strip holder but uses a PC for the balance of the functionality.
