A system of products that provide a personalized approach to healthcare by leveraging information and technology.

Miigo’s main function is to monitor an individual’s health condition(s) in a much more personalized manner by making important health-related information available to the user in real time, delivering medicine non-invasively, relaying information to health providers, and analyzing and tracking comprehensive health profiles of the individual on a consistent basis. This system will utilize such technologies as micro-needles, micro-reservoirs, and flexible LCD’s coupled with materials such as silicone and other polymers to create a simple, comfortable, and cost-effective method to achieve the main goal. The health conditions that would be monitored range from heart rate and blood pressure to blood fat and drug metabolic rate. Various attachments may be acquired to track more specific health factors related to diseases such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, cancer, etc. Certain prescribed medicines can also be administered using the product, eliminating the need for painful injections. The system will improve the patient-doctor relationship by providing more timely information without increasing transportation and time costs. Ultimately, Miigo will serve to create a healthcare environment in which patients are treated on an individual and personal scale.
