Single site pilot clinical investigation of a novel app-assisted self-management programme for gestational diabetes

Incorporation of information and communication technology into healthcare management has provided novel solutions to combat operational and financial challenges through the development of telemedicine pathways. Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a perfectly suited condition on which to model such strategies, through the potential for remote surveillance of self-monitored glycemia. We sought to evaluate the impact of a smartphone app-assisted self-management program for GDM on a range of maternal and neonatal outcomes.
