Abstract
Background: The management of diabetes-related risk factors could effectively reduce the occurrence of its complications, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce the mortality of patients. Data analysis based on the eKTANG platform could greatly improve the efficiency of communication between patients and doctors, and strengthen the treatment and management of diabetes.
Aim: We created eKTANG to monitor patient health effectively. The eKTANG health management system aims to extensively intervene in blood glucose monitoring, nutrition, exercise, medicine, and health education to enable diabetes patients to achieve optimal treatment results.
Methods: Diabetes patients diagnosed by Henan University Medical School included through the eKTANG platform were randomly divided into three groups: member service package group, discharge/ outpatient follow-up group, and out-of-hospital care group. We conducted intensive out-ofhospital interventions for three groups of patients for three months to help patients formulate precise blood glucose control plans and conduct training. The traditional group was compared with the eKTANG platform group, and the physiological indicators and patient compliance of the four groups were observed 6 months later.
Results: In the eKTANG platform management group, the average blood glucose compliance rate increased significantly, and the percentage of average blood glucose in the range of 3.9-10.0 showed an upward trend. Fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose showed a downward trend. At the same time, the number of patients per capita blood glucose monitoring showed a significant increase compared with the control group.
Conclusion: The establishment of the eKTANG platform can improve the efficiency of patient’s medical treatment, improve their lifestyles, reduce the incidence of patient complications, and build a virtuous circle gradually. This research has strengthened the health management and autonomy of diabetic patients and improved the efficiency of treatment. It is worthy of promotion.
