This technical feasibility project will address the opportunity to enable GP's to efficiently provide self-care resources to Diabetic patients through a smartphone app. It will assess how to best aggregate,index and query open and closed datasources from a range of national and local sources in a way that helps GP's to overcome the barriers that exist for them in systematically delivering self-care resources to the smartphones of their diabetic patients. This will be achieved by using the Healum health technology platform to create and test an algorithmic model from existing local sources in partnership with patients,nurses and doctors from Bermuda Marlowe Practice.

Orsus Medical are developing a novel non-invasive blood glucose monitor for real-time and continuous monitoring by diabetics.
