Use of a Data-Sharing System During Diabetes Consultations

Abstract

Patient-gathered self-management data and shared decision-making are touted as the answer to improving an individual’s health situation as well as collaboration between patients and their providers leading to more effective treatment plans. However, there is a gap between this ideal and reality – a lack of data-sharing technology. Here, we present the impact that the FullFlow System for sharing patient-gathered data during diabetes consultations, had on the patient-provider relationship and consultation discussion.
