A Mobile Computerized Decision Support System to Prevent Hypoglycemia in Hospitalized Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes management requires complex and interdisciplinary cooperation of health care professionals (HCPs). To support this complex process, IT-support is recommended by clinical guidelines. The aim of this article is to report on results from a clinical feasibility study testing the prototype of a mobile, tablet-based client-server system for computerized decision and workflow support (GlucoTab®) and to discuss its impact on hypoglycemia prevention.

Methods

The system was tested in a monocentric, open, noncontrolled intervention study in 30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The system supports HCPs in performing a basal-bolus insulin therapy. Diabetes therapy, adverse events, software errors and user feedback were documented. Safety, efficacy and use
