digitalized management exploration for gestational diabetes mellitus in china

Conditions: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy

Summary: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) can lead to adverse perinatal and long-term outcomes, and it is so important to manage this disease in pregnancy. digitalized managements have been proved economical and effective in some chronic diseases like type ii diabetes mellitus. the purpose of the current study was to develop and evaluate a digitalized mode for gdm management using mobile healthcare and some wearable devices. subjects were randomly divided into a conventional management group and combined digitalized management group after diagnosed with gdm during 24-28 weeks of gestation. the conventional mangement group received conventional gdm management and could freely use the mobile healthcare application. the mobile management group received digitalized healthcare services from artificial intelligence under the supervision of obstetricians, in addition to conventional management. the effectiveness of digitalized management were evaluated mainly through the result values of the labotatory tests related to blood glucose controlling and perinatal outcomes.
