According to the<\/span> 2021 Diabetes Atlas of the International Diabetes Federation<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>537 million adults between the ages of 20-79 around the world suffer from diabetes<\/b>. This makes diabetes a high prevalence chronic disease that, with the continuous medical care required, presents a challenge to healthcare systems around the world. Because of this, <\/span>Digital Health is becoming an ever more valuable partner in the management of this disease, enabling the optimization of healthcare resources.<\/b><\/p>\n This management requires an integrated approach that addresses the needs of these patients, <\/b>such as <\/span>periodic medical follow-up, glucose monitoring, adherence to treatment, <\/b>or the<\/span> management of diet and exercise<\/b>. Specifically along these lines, Digital Health is playing a key role and, as indicated in the<\/span> Medtech Europe<\/span><\/a> report, is enabling the:<\/span><\/p>\n These digital platforms facilitate the <\/span>daily activities of the diabetic patient<\/b> and help him or her to have <\/span>better control over the disease<\/b>, by displaying, in a simple way, the information coming from devices like glucose monitoring systems. This real-time information allows the patients to <\/span>administer their insulin effectively<\/b>, encouraging immediate adjustments. In addition, this can be complemented with other kinds of data, collected actively or passively by the patient, like <\/span>weight, physical activity, or events<\/b>. These data help the patients to understand their general condition and overall progress.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, Digital Health offers a wide range of <\/span>educational resources<\/b> and support for people with diabetes, providing information, advice, and emotional support that, in addition to empowering the patients, help them to improve in various areas, <\/span>positively impacting their health and quality of life<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n This integrated approach using digital tools has already demonstrated its <\/span>efficacy in improving health outcomes<\/b>, with the<\/span> improvement in patient glycemic control<\/span><\/a> and quality of life, thus reducing the daily burdens associated with the disease. When the patients know that their disease is under control, their anxiety level decreases and some<\/span> measurements like quality of sleep are improved<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n This monitoring in real time also <\/span>allows the healthcare professionals to be up to date on their patients\u2019 progress and make adjustments to their treatment as needed, concentrating their in-person visits on the most important aspects<\/b>. This leads to an improvement in the quality of care and efficient management of healthcare resources, potentially enabling, according to the Medtech report, <\/span>80% of routine consultations to be conducted through tools such as telemedicine<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n In conclusion, <\/span>digital tools are transforming the management of chronic diseases like diabetes<\/b> in which daily monitoring is key. These technological innovations are enabling us to <\/span>move towards a future in which the handling of diabetes is more effective, efficient, and centered on the patient<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n #Diabetes<\/a> #DigitalHealth<\/a> #mHealth<\/a><\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”24px|0px|27px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_team_member name=”Ana D\u00edaz-Roncero” position=”Business Development” image_url=”https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ana-Diaz-Roncero.jpg” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ana-diaz-roncero-gonzalez\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”Ana D\u00edaz-Roncero” sticky_enabled=”0″] Persei vivarium<\/p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_team_member name=”Patricia Dom\u00ednguez” position=”Business Development” image_url=”https:\/\/perseivivarium.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Patri-2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/patricia-dom%C3%ADnguez-a18b3866\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Persei vivarium<\/p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to the 2021 Diabetes Atlas of the International Diabetes Federation, 537 million adults between the ages of 20-79 around the world suffer from diabetes.
