Real-time Monitoring of Patients with Diabetes Using Software Applications - Proposing a Conceptual Model

The rate of diabetes has increased in proportion to that of obesity and thus is a topical issue that is carefully studied and for which various IT solutions are proposed to facilitate the treatment and monitoring of patients. There are many applications that can be used by those diagnosed with diabetes, those with various specifications useful in ensuring a healthy lifestyle, reminders for testing and nutritional journals. This paper highlights a brief analysis of existing applications for monitoring patients with diabetes and proposes a useful computer application in collaboration between the specialist, patient and laboratory physician. Many people do not have access to specialized medical services (especially those living in rural areas, in isolated areas) and at the same time, the current context of the pandemic proves the need for certain technological solutions for monitoring patients at home.
