09 May TreC Diabetes

• TreC Diabetes aims at implementing a new organizational asset to manage patients with diabetes type 1 and type 2, supported by new technologies
• The core target is mainly pregnant women affected by diabetes, including Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
• TreC Diabetes has been piloted and fine-tuned from 2015 to 2018
• The systems (App for patients and dashboard for healthcare staff) is used as part of the standard service delivery
• The App includes a messaging system to facilitate communication with healthcare staff
• The App includes an AI component enabling a virtual coach system to support healthy lifestyles and behavior changes
• Healthcare staff members (nurses and doctors) can monitor patients through the online medical dashboard
• The dashboard was conceived as an easy-to-use console, allowing proper management of clinical and non/clinical information collected through different sources (medical history, personal data, laboratory data, self-reported information) and allowing to keep the healthcare staff and the patients in touch (chat)
• The communication between patients and health care staff was significantly improved, as well as the quality of both monitoring and management of the patients
• Associations/NGO have been involved in the App design and piloting
• The platform is used as part of the standard care for specific segments of the target population
