R&S Course Project Proposal

Technological advances in healthcare have considerably revolutionized care operationalizations and enhanced the efficiency of care provision. Edge-cutting technologies have been developed to optimize care outcomes and ensure patient safety. Diabetic care is a healthcare area that has benefited considerably from these technological advances. Technologies such as glucometers and continuous glucose monitoring have provided a framework for optimizing diabetic care by enhancing contact between diabetic patients and care services. This reinforces the need for these technologies in diabetic care. However, the efficiency of various healthcare technologies may be jeopardized by the existing gaps in knowledge of these technologies. Thus, healthcare providers should be educated on these technologies to enhance their effectiveness.

Assessment of Community

Diabetes remains a leading cause of disability and morbidities globally. An estimated one in every eight adults lives with the disease. The disease also fetches a considerable healthcare cost, with over 327 billion used in managing the disease. Pharmacotherapy with antidiabetic agents maintains effectiveness in optimizing glycemic control and subsequently improving the quality of life of all patients with the disease. This notwithstanding, diabetic management still fetches considerable care challenges due to the complexity of the disease and its care requirements. Various areas of diabetic management, such as disease monitoring, still lag and remain implicated in diabetic complications and disabilities (Saeedi et al., 2019). Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive management of the disease, with close monitoring warranted. Healthcare technologies can find considerable use in this regard.
