HelpDiabeto: A user-friendly Tool for Diabetes Tracking and Monitoring

Diabetes is a chronic disease affecting a significant number of individuals worldwide. Those with diabetes must adhere to a strict diet, maintain regular exercise, and monitor their blood sugar levels to effectively manage their health condition. However, managing these tasks can be challenging without an efficient tracking system especially during a health crisis like the coronavirus. Remote patient monitoring enables doctors to observe patients' health in real-time, receive updates on their status, and offer advice and recommendations accordingly. This can enhance healthcare quality by providing patients with more consistent care and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations. Furthermore, it can contribute to cost reduction for both patients and healthcare systems by minimizing expenses tied to in-person visits and hospitalizations. This paper introduces a highly useful software tool for monitoring and tracking diabetes patients, called HelpDiabeto (Help Doctor and Patient), developed by the Knowledge Engineering and Information Analysis' group.
