| Research Abstract |
We developed a real-time partially automated interactive system to interpret patient data and respond with appropriate actionable findings, helping the patients achieve diabetes self-management. DialBetics is composed of four modules, data transmission module, evaluation module, communication module, and dietary evaluation module. A three-month randomized study was designed to assess the safety and usability of a remote health-data monitoring system. 54 diabetes patients were randomly divided into two groups, 27 in the DialBetics group and 27 in the non-DialBetics control group. HbA1c declined significantly in the DialBetics group compared with non-DialBetics group (p=0.015). DialBetics was shown to be a feasible and an effective tool for improving HbA1c by providing patients with real-time support based on their measurements and inputs.
