Oregon Health & Science University's (OHSU) new and innovative solution, known as the 'DailyDose' app, specifically caters to individuals with type 1 diabetes who require multiple daily insulin injections. By employing an advanced AI algorithm, the app effectively evaluates blood sugar data, identifies patterns and trends, and provides personalized recommendations to help users maintain their glucose levels within a healthy range.
A recent study on the app's effectiveness showed that when users followed the app's advice, their blood sugar levels "significantly improved." According to the study, those who adhered to the app's advice less did not enjoy the same benefits.
“Some people struggling with glucose management may benefit from personalized coaching,” said Wilson. “But, knowing that coaching is resource-intensive, our study will only offer it to those who need it. We call this combined approach app-based certified diabetes education therapy, or AB-CDE.”
