Today, two key and unrelated trends are apparent: 1) Diabetes globally is increasing at an exponential rate and 2) the adoption and embracement of mobile solutions is also increasing. Given this context we decided to investigate the possibility of using a mobile pervasive technology solution to facilitate superior diabetes self-care, especially focusing on management and monitoring. Moreover, we chose to focus on GM (gestational diabetes), since this group of the population typically has a high mobile phone usage and is also very motivated to address their blood glucose issues and thereby avoid possible complications to their baby and/or themselves. The applications below supports this longitudinal DiaMonD study. It uses the GlycemiCare Solution, developed by Inet International Inc. in collaboration with Dr. Sheldon Silver MD to facilitate better diabetes management and monitoring.
A DiaMonD Study GM pilot project is made possible by the generous support of Epworth Healthcare.
