This article reports on results from the first clinical trial performed with the prototype of the GlucoTab® system, a mobile, tablet-based client-server system for computerized decision and workflow support.
In this study, various errors in Diabetes management were analysed and compared in both a paper-based system and the GlucoTab digital system.
GlucoTab® clinical evaluation of 99 patients across 4 different wards at the University Hospital of Graz:
In this proof-of-concept study during the beginning stages of GlucoTab development, an algorithm for basal-bolus insulin therapy was integrated into the workflow of a hospital ward, and glycemic control and usability were evaluated.
Before GlucoTab application, room for improvement was identified. Recommended blood glucose targets were not reached despite considerable effort and frequent measurements.
