Remote monitoring for patients with, or at risk of diabetes

Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels

Patient Help Centre

DBm-Health is a patient to clinician system that helps health care professionals manage patients with diabetes or at risk of diabetes, and promotes self-care.

It is ideally suited to patients needing additional support to maintain safe blood glucose levels.

The need for safe remote monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for digital technologies to help clinicians manage their patients remotely, reducing the risk to individuals who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 and are advised to shield during the pandemic.

Free smartphone app

Patients can input and share blood glucose readings and other relevant data (i.e. medication taken), and request a callback from their care team.

Clinician's desktop app

Patient lists can be filtered to help prioritise interventions; individual blood glucose readings can be viewed; and messages sent to patients via the app or by SMS.

Self-monitoring for patients

Self-help guides and a record of blood glucose readings in diary and graph format helps patients to actively manage their blood glucose levels.

DBm-Health is intended for adult patients with, or at risk of diabetes needing frequent blood glucose monitoring, including:

Patients new to insulin treatment needing enhanced diabetes support from their healthcare team
Cancer patients receiving high dose steroid treatment
Women with diabetes planning a pregnancy

Patients with type 1 diabetes not suited to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
Patients with coronavirus at risk of hyperglycaemia
Patients with type 2 diabetes requiring intensive support
