Telemedieine and mHealth System for Complex Management in T1DM and T2DM Patients: Results of 6 Months Study

摘要

Paper focuses on evaluation of clinical outcomes in management of diabetic patients based on proactive care. Patients were empowered toward self-management through integrated telemedicine system. We used two different patient datasets to evaluate clinical outcomes - dataset A with 95 T1DM (Type 1 diabetes mellitus) and 121 T2DM (Type 2 diabetes) patients and dataset B with 148 T1DM and 218 T2DM patients. The results show significant improvements for both datasets in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) for T1DM and T2DM patients in 6 month period. Baseline for HbA1c in Dataset A for T1DM patients: 7.55±1.68% versus 7.21±1.59% after six months using telemedieine services (p = 0.003). Baseline for HbA1c for T2DM patients: 6.98±1.55% versus 6.56±1.42% (p = 0). Baseline for HbA1c in Dataset B for T1DM patients: 7.73±1.62% versus 7.38±1.57% after six months using telemedieine services (p = 0). Baseline for HbA1c for T2DM patients: 7.1±1.54% versus 6.77±1.45% (p = 0).
