Challenge
Addressing the Gaps in Diabetes Education with Virtual Health Solutions
Diabetes is the fastest-growing chronic disease in the world, costing over $400 billion per year in the U.S. alone. Despite advancements in digital health technology, such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring systems, many individuals with diabetes struggle to meet their health targets, leading to significant complications. High-quality diabetes education is essential but often outdated, inaccessible, and expensive.
To differentiate themselves in a competitive market, our client aimed to offer a more comprehensive support experience for people with diabetes. They needed to create a user-friendly and engaging platform that achieved three specific objectives:
- Train patients to use their diabetes devices effectively.
- Educate users on common challenges and scenarios to improve their quality of life.
- Gather valuable data to enhance their problem-solving database for the interactive tool.
The mobile health application experience needed to deliver valuable content that would effectively support diabetes management, ensuring users received the information necessary to manage their condition. Additionally, it was essential for the platform to engage users in a fun and interactive way, fostering a sense of enjoyment that would encourage regular return visits. Accessibility was also a key factor; the application had to be available anytime and anywhere, enabling users to seamlessly incorporate it into their daily routines. Finally, the solution needed to be extensible, built with flexibility to allow for future feature enhancements that would further improve patient engagement and the overall user experience.
Solution
Developing a Custom Mobile Health Application for Diabetes Management
To address these challenges, the Hexaware team developed a mobile health application and web application that incorporated AWS Sumerian, creating an interactive virtual health solution. This solution enabled users to access the platform anytime and anywhere. Key AWS services utilized included:
- AWS Cognito for application security
- Amazon S3 for content hosting, data storage, and delivery
The AWS infrastructure allowed for the storage of users’ actions, enabling them to interact seamlessly across various platforms without losing progress.
The platform was designed to support individuals with diabetes in learning how to use their devices for everyday tasks, such as pump setup, bolus delivery, and carbohydrate counting. It also addressed more advanced topics like exercise management and emergency response.
Each action taken by the user triggered realistic physiological responses within the platform, enhancing the educational experience. Users interacted with a virtual host who guided them in managing their diabetes symptoms with their insulin pumps. The gamified approach tracked and scored progress, ensuring ongoing engagement.
