Virtual management platforms allow diabetics to manage their condition

Diabetes care platforms provide personalized virtual care for diabetes patients with customized interventions and coaching and real-time glucose monitoring. The University of Toronto RxFood app allows users to take a photo of the food on their plate and receive information on the macronutrients it contains and whether it contributes to managing their condition. A study found the app improved diabetes control and patient self-management. Meanwhile, LifestyleRx assists diabetes patients in making lifestyle changes. It includes virtual physician visits, virtual group sessions, self-assessment tools, exercises and personal health reports.
