New peer-reviewed data supports the use of mobile health technology to help patients and their providers and educators manage their chronic condition.
Please make plans to join WellDoc® at the American Association of Diabetes Educators annual meeting in Las Vegas for our Product Theatre presentation, "Transforming Diabetes Care and Improving Outcomes."
We will showcase our flagship product, the WellDoc DiabetesManager®, the only mobile-based system to be developed and cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for real-time patient coaching and clinical decision support for providers and educators. The WellDoc DiabetesManager was developed by endocrinologists, diabetes educators, behaviorists, and technologists. We will also review the results of the newly available community-based, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that met its primary endpoint of reducing A1C. A demonstration of the virtual patient coach and the provider clinical decision support tools will take place.

INDICATIONS FOR USE: The WellDoc DiabetesManager is a software system that can be implemented on the web and mobile phone. DiabetesManager functions to capture, store, and transmit blood glucose data and information to aid in diabetes self-management, analyze and report blood glucose test results and support medication adherence, and allow for entry of diabetes-related healthcare information and provide educational information. DiabetesManager®-Rx is activated by the actions of a prescribing healthcare provider and provides additional messaging based on real-time blood glucose values and trends. DiabetesManager can be used independently. When DiabetesManager-Rx is activated, the DiabetesManager and DiabetesManager-Rx are combined. The DiabetesManager-Rx is dependent on the DiabetesManager as the foundation and cannot be used independently.
The WellDoc DiabetesManager is for use by healthcare providers and their patients (age 21 and older) who have type 2 diabetes. DiabetesManager is not intended to replace the care provided by a licensed healthcare professional, including prescriptions, diagnosis, or treatment.
