Diabetes Care - Interactive Web Application

Situation

For over 30 years, Food Sciences has assisted national corporations, hospital networks, physician practices, medical clinics and patients by manufacturing functional products and developing comprehensive programs that deliver high-quality, life-changing care to their consumers. They wanted to create a full-service interactive website with the goal of helping patients with diabetes decrease their health-related complications through information and tools that would be easily accessible online.

Strategy

Along with the Diabetes Care team we planned to approach the challenge by creating a website which covered three major parts of the project.

1. Create a resource for people with diabetes to learn more about the disease through articles, information, news feeds, and educational videos.

2. Build a set of online tools that would help diabetes patients deal with managing their disease on a daily basis.

3. Using these online tools, provide a way for doctors to maintain a much better connection with their patients outside of the hospital.

Results

We created a one-stop online resource for patients which offers a wealth of helpful and constantly updated information on diabetes, plus cutting-edge tools which include:
- 40,000+ food item Nutrition Tracker
- Exercise Tracker
- BMI Calculator
- Blood Glucose Tracker
- Carb Counting teaching tool that enable people to track their progress over a six-month period of time.

The website also featured healthy recipes, informative videos, forums and blogs for community dialogue. With the prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. totaling a staggering 23.6 million people in 2007, the online resource we created has been successful in helping people with diabetes, caregivers, and healthcare providers better manage the disease.
