The main goal of the project is for the application to be a handy tool for the self-management of diabetes with automated data input from third-party devices (glucose meter devices, blood pressure monitors, etc.) and applications (e.g. physical activity apps) as well as a personalized insulin dosage calculation tool. More specifically, the software will help in:

• supporting patients in detecting acute conditions (e.g. hypoglycaemia), avoiding serious conditions such as loss of consciousness etc

• facilitating the management of diabetes and all data related to the disease

• strengthening the communication of patients with their physicians

• supporting physicians in their work.

For patients:

For doctors (web application):

• Better data display and data extraction

• Added value to their services

For the society and the economy:

• Promotion of a healthy lifestyle

• Reduce of costs related to diabetes
