The positive impact remote monitoring can have for diabetes care

537 million people worldwide have diabetes and this is expected to increase to 783 million by 2045(1). Finding sustainable solutions to care for people with diabetes at home is crucial. Our digital health platform Clinitouch can help to do just this by remotely monitoring people at home. This can give patients more access to diabetes-related care and empower them with knowledge to better manage their condition.

Digital technology can help people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes by taking regular blood glucose readings and monitoring for early signs and symptoms of deterioration. It also allows clinicians to support people with diabetes and avoid long-term life changing complications. Clinitouch can also help to improve patient self-management through delivering education.

How it works?

• Monitor - Use technology to monitor diabetes-related signs and symptoms.
• Measure - Collect data for blood glucose levels, blood pressure and weight.
• Medication - Monitor concordance with diabetes-related pharmacological therapies.
• Education - Provide information for patients to better understand their type of diabetes and help them to self-manage.

Which patients could benefit?

• Patients recently diagnosed with diabetes
• Patients who need help controlling their blood glucose levels
• Patients with ongoing management of their diabetes in the community
• Patients discharged from hospital with a diabetes-related complication

Key benefits

• Patients will have greater access to their clinician and will feel safely supported at home
