iHealth Gluco Pro – A Real-Life Tool for CDCESs®
iHealth Gluco Pro is a diabetes management application and clinical practice tool that helps Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, (CDCESs®) maintain a real-connection with their patients between visits. It allows patients with diabetes to share their blood sugar levels, physical activity, nutrition intake, and medication with their educator.
“Now CDCESs® can help their patients where they need it the most – in the real world. Our patients are using mobile phones more than ever. This iHealth Gluco Pro App is a great way to interact with patients and interject snippets of information and coaching when it means the most to them.” Chuck Newcombe, MS, RD, CDCES – Diabetes Expert and consultant with iHealth Labs
Pioneering CDCESs® Needed – Stipend and Supplies included
Gluco Pro is looking for about 20 pioneering CDCESs® that would like to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative app in improving the patient – CDCES® connection. The goal is to enroll 200 – 300 patients to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative app. That means, each CDCES® would need to enroll 10-15 patients.
There is a stipend for CDCESs® and a Bluetooth meter with test strips for their patients using only iOS devices. With feedback from patients and CDCESs®, the Human Factor Study will help determine the effectiveness of the app in real life setting.
