Information Technology for Supporting Self-Control in the Formation of a Rational Lifestyle for Diabetics Patients

Abstract

Introduction. Modern Diabetes mellitus is dangerous, chronic endocrine disease that originates from the disorder of metabolism, connected primarily with violation of carbohydrate exchange. Providing the necessity of independent self-control of health status of diabetes patients is the urgent problem of present time. The use of information technologies and mobile medicine facilitates enhancing the efficiency of self-control of health status by the patient. The purpose of the paper is to develop a combined information technology to enhance the efficiency of glycemic self-control in case of diabetes at different stages of treatment.

“…Currently, there is a rapid increase in the mobility of all users and providers of medical services, which leads to increased attention of physicians and develo pers of mobile devices [18]. This group includes as follows:  data from portable medical devices: ECG, pul se oximeter, daily pressure monito ring device, in particular diagnostic hardware and softwa re with the use of Fazagraf techno logy [19] and applications such as a "Diabetic Patient Advisor" based on DIABETES-plus technolo gy [20] etc. ;  the results of selftesting of the patient's psy choemotional and physical condition;  records in digital diaries on the parameters of medication control and monitoring of sleep ti me characteristics, etc.…”

“…While designing the databank, we primarily pay attention to socially significant diseases with sys temic disorders of carbohydrate metabolism and impaired motor and speech functions in patients after stroke. In these cases, the formation of PMD aims at enabling the patients:  to determine the patient's daily glycemic profi le in the conditions of irregular measure ments of blood glucose level, with the help of mobile de vices [20], given the patient's sensitivity to in jec tions of insulin and glucose component of food;  to get quality medical care and health services, including remote monitoring of rehabilitation of motor and speech functions, not only in cli nical but also at home conditions, with the use of mobile devices [7].…”
