A Randomised Control Trial to Explore the Impact and Efficacy of the Healum Collaborative Care Planning Software and App on Condition Management in the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Population in NHS Primary Care.

Introduction: Effective and scalable solutions to support management of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) at a distance are a priority for health systems worldwide. The use of personalised care planning has been shown to be effective at improving the health outcomes and the experience of care amongst people with T2D and other long-term health conditions. Here we describe a specific example of such an intervention.

Enhancing type 2 diabetes treatment through digital plans of care. First results from the East Cheshire Study of an App to support people in the management of type 2 diabetes.

Introduction: The use of personalised care planning has been effective at improving health outcomes for people with long-term health conditions.

Methods: We analysed data in relation to changes in BMI/HbA1c. The sample was made up of ( = 36) participants randomised to either the active intervention group (App+usual care) or the control group (usual care).

Prescription Patterns in Dialysis Patients: Differences Between Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients and Opportunities for Deprescription.

Background: Patients treated with maintenance dialysis are at high risk of polypharmacy given their many comorbidities as well as complications from their disease state and treatment. The prescribing patterns and burden of polypharmacy in patients treated with maintenance dialysis, and specifically the difference between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) prescribing, are not well characterized.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to review the prescribing patterns for patients treated with maintenance dialysis, to compare prescribing pattern between HD and PD, and to identify opportunities for deprescription.
