Digital Health ProgramsContinuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMs): A clinician’s perspective on how CGMs improve patient care quality
To be a leader in this healthcare industry, we rely heavily on our use of digital devices to provide the clinical data, both for the care team as well as for the patient. These devices allow patients to see first hand how their lifestyle and behaviors affect their overall health. One of the most crucial devices is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which allows patients to see the effects of food, drinks, exercise, sleep, and stress on their glucose levels, also known as blood sugar levels. I will be diving deeper into what a CGM is, how it can play a role in diabetes management, preventing and reversing other chronic conditions, and how it can optimize a patient's health. I will also illustrate how this data can provide insights for the clinical care team to help create a personalized care plan to tackle a patient's chronic condition. Lastly, I will discuss how remote patient monitoring (RPM) plays a role in healthcare today.
