A review of mobile applications for diabetes: could it replace the role of professional health care?
Abstract
Methods: A systematic review has been conducted. A number of articles related to mobile applications and diabetes mellitus published between 2011-2020 have been taken from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Medical ProQuest, and 15 articles were selected based on criteria set. Results: Each study appears to have different features in design MA, affecting the results varied in the 15 studies reviewed. Mobile technology-based applications demonstrated their role in improving communication, being accessible, facilitating self-management processes, improving compliance with treatment, and ultimately improving blood sugar control.
Conclusion: The role of PHTs is important for the successful implementation of the fast-developing sensor and transfer app in the medical sector. It is the role of a PHTs to select adequate devices, apply them, and earnestly analyse their effectiveness and economic feasibility.
