We use an alert engine based on NEWS (National Early Warning Score) to monitor diabetic patients with the aim of identifying early signs of deterioration or complications of patients remotely. The idea is to leverage a scoring system originally designed for pediatric patients to predict clinical deterioration and adapt it to track and monitor diabetic conditions. The benefits of a NEWS-based alert engine for diabetic patients is that it enables early detection of disturbances as it identifies warning signs of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hypoglycemic events before they become critical. This enables personalized interventions based on individual risk scores. This engine improves the flow of information between healthcare teams, leading to timely responses. Supports physicians with data-driven insights to make better treatment decisions. Adopting a NEWS-based alert engine for diabetic patients significantly enhances the monitoring process, helping to prevent complications and improve outcomes through proactive interventions.
