Decision support and e-health services for diabetes management

Abstract

In this article, we will introduce and discuss new options by using personal decision support and e-health services in diabetes management. Usage of the KADIS® system for personal decision support provides opportu- nities to identify improved therapy options in accordance with the guidelines of the professional societies. This enables the best treatment modality for the individual patient to be determined in a very short time and, individual circumstances of the patient as well as the practical feasibility of treatment recommendations are taken into account. Furthermore, the telemedicine platform TeleDIAB® together with the embedded KADIS® simulation are suitable to make knowledge and experience globally available to treat diabetes.
