The DiabetesMine Care Plan at Keas.com
Recently announced, the DiabetesMine Health Account Plan went live at Keas.com, the new interactive web service (founded by former head of Google Health Adam Bosworth) designed to give individuals personalized advice to help them achieve their health care goals. Devised by patient advocate Amy Tenderich (of DiabetesMine blog fame) and Dr. Richard Jackson of the Joslin Diabetes Center, the DiabetesMine Plan provides people with diabetes with detailed care plans, based on entered health data (either manually inputted by the patient or uploaded from external resources such at Quest Diagnostics, Google Health, and Microsoft Health Vault). For example, when users present with high A1c, the plan details multiple care options (e.g., diet changes, exercise, medication change), guiding them through their selected plan of action. The program also explains the finer nuances of many diabetes-related medical tests, such as A1c, blood pressure, and lipid panel.
We’re thrilled by the potential of this service – and especially appreciate Amy’s patient touch! The popular blogger was able to share her thoughts with diaTribe, noting she was most excited by opportunity “to help so many people out there with diabetes who don’t have access to the education and support they need. We truly hope that using a plan like this can help people understand what to do, when, and why.” We couldn’t agree more – access the service now for free at www.keas.com/.
