Satisfactory glycemic control, meeting American Diabetes Association recommendations, is difficult to achieve. Technologically, this is most likely because the circle of care is incomplete. Many have suggested that the introduction of information technology may remedy the situation. However, previous attempts have not succeeded. Recognizing this, we evolved firmware that supports and links both the patient at home and their care providers in the clinic.
The device includes software and a database, all contained in a standard USB flash drive. At home, patients use the database portion of the device (MyDiaBase). It fully complements their diabetes education while capturing pertinent self-management information by tracking self-monitored blood glucose data, body weight, medication dosing, physical activity, diet, lifestyle, and stress. In the clinic, providers use the RxChecker program to perform prescription checks that are based on their patients' outcomes data, thereby effectively closing the circle of care.
要实现符合美国糖尿病协会建议的令人满意的血糖控制并非易事。从技术层面来看，这很可能是因为护理环节不完整。许多人认为引入信息技术或许能改善这种状况。然而，以往的尝试均未成功。认识到这一点后，我们开发了一种固件，它能够支持并连接家中的患者及其在诊所的护理人员。
该设备包括软件和一个数据库，全部存储在一个标准的USB闪存驱动器中。在家中，患者使用设备的数据库部分（MyDiaBase）。它在患者进行糖尿病自我管理教育的同时，通过追踪自我监测的血糖数据、体重、药物剂量、身体活动、饮食、生活方式和压力等信息，全面补充相关的自我管理信息。在诊所，医护人员使用RxChecker程序，根据患者的病情数据进行处方检查，从而有效地完善护理环节。
