Digitalization of Follow-up Program for Children with Type 1 Diabetes

Digital registries are increasingly being used to collect and analyze data on children with chronic diseases especially for children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). These electronic platforms offer several advantages over traditional paper-based registries, including improved data quality, enhanced efficiency, and facilitated research. Most paediatric patients with diabetes have type 1 and a lifetime dependence on exogenous insulin. Clinical guidelines recommend multidisciplinary management of T1D, with follow-up visits with an endocrinologist at least every 3 months in the paediatric population. The digitalization of healthcare has revolutionized the way patients manage their conditions. It refers to 890 children with diabetes in Armenia: 99.4 % from all children were diagnosed as diabetes type 1. The aim of the study is to implement existing guidelines for patient journey and digitalized follow up of type 1 diabetic pediatric patients, with primary focus of decreasing follow-up in-person visits for rural patients.
