Diabeat is a digital health platform that aims to contribute to the early diagnosis, monitoring and management of Diabetes Mellitus (high blood sugar, aka diabetes). This app helps the users by providing alerts and recommendations based on the medical data entered by them. The platform belongs to Docandu's digital health apps family (www.docandu.com). Docandu developed Diabeat in collaboration with the Hellenic Society of eHealth Services and Education (EEMEPY), the Athens Medical Society, and the support of the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim. The information website is http://diabeat.gr.
Diabeat aims to become the digital health assistant of diabetic patients helping with the management and control of the disease. Through frequent use of the app, users learn to self-manage their condition in the best possible way, avoiding or decreasing its complications. At the same time, doctors can use reliable data from regular measurements and user habits to design a better and personalized treatment plan for the user/patient.
Ιn detail, the application provides the following features to users:
DIABETES MANAGEMENT LOGBOOK
The user can add his daily diabetes-related measurements, such as blood glucose, medications, e.g. metformin or insulin (bolus & basal), diet, weight, exercise/activity, mood, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, HbA1C value and more.
MEDICAL PROFILE
The medical profile includes the following categories: Lifestyle, allergies, vaccinations, family history, medications, conditions, tests, and diabetes data such as type of diabetes, history of heart disease, metformin intolerance/contraindications, desired glucose level, type of medication. The medical profile can be automatically translated from English to Greek and vice versa.
NOTICES

SYMPTOM CHECKER
