DAS: personal diabetes management system

In this study we have presented the design and implementation of a Diabetes Assistant System (DAS) which is able to store and manage the diabetic patient’s medical data. DAS (Diabetes Assistance System) is developed after studying several well-known existing diabetes management systems and includes many features that were not available in past. In addition to this many features of existing systems are redesigned for more productivity and effective disease management. DAS not only facilitates diabetic patients to manage their lifestyles but it also provides functionalities for medical practitioners and support staff for disease management features. DAS supports core features of user management, disease management, visit management and extended features for socialization. DAS is developed by focusing users’ needs of mobility and ease of access hence available as web-based and mobile- based diabetes management system. DAS enables doctors to support patients remotely and view their disease history. Moreover, a doctor can manage his/her personal profile and daily schedule of online availability. Patients can manage their profiles, daily activities, test results, medications, foods intakes and appointments. In addition to this, patients can view their disease history, doctor’s schedule and health tips. The support staff manages disease related information like medicines, manufacturers, tests, foods and exercises data. In addition they can view/manage doctor’s schedule and appointments.
