Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a temporary pregnancy-induced condition where a placental hormone reduces insulin effectiveness, leading to high blood sugar. While it typically resolves after childbirth, it raises the risk of type 2 diabetes in mothers. Affecting about 14% of pregnancies, GDM complicates over 18 million births annually, with rising obesity and older maternal age contributing to its prevalence.
To achieve early intervention and ongoing management to reduce severe diabetes complications, Axians Belgium partnered with Diabetes Liga to implement a comprehensive prevention plan. This initiative includes annual reminders for doctor checkups and tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. For its part, Axians has developed a custom software application to streamline these processes and communications. The application offers valuable insights into patient data and supports healthcare providers in delivering personalized recommendations. It leverages an innovative BPM (Business Process Management) framework, ensuring robustness and flexibility.
The tool developed by Diabetes Liga assesses risk using patient history and clinical data, providing continuous health monitoring and educational resources to help patients manage their condition effectively.
This innovative approach by Diabetes Liga and Axians aims to reduce severe diabetes complications and provide a scalable model for managing gestational diabetes and preventing type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals.
