背景：可穿戴计算长期以来一直被描述为解决许多健康挑战的解决方案。然而，这项技术作为糖尿病患者自我管理工具的使用还没有得到充分的探索。智能手表是这种用途的一个有前途的平台。智能手表是一种戴在手腕上的设备，它不仅能报时，还能提供互联网连接，以及与手机之间的信息交流。方法：在9个月的时间里，智能手表的糖尿病日记应用程序的设计使用了灵活的开发方法。该系统包括智能手表和手机上的应用程序之间的双向通信，并在6名1型糖尿病患者身上进行了测试。结果：设计的智能手表系统显示了时间、日期、日期和电池剩余时间。它还允许输入碳水化合物、胰岛素和血糖(BG)，并可以选择查看以前记录的数据。用户能够记录特定的身体活动，程序提醒，并自动记录和传输数据，包括步数，到移动电话版本的糖尿病日记。智能手表系统也可以作为独立工具使用。用户反映了其有用性，对其功能反应积极，并对进一步开发提供了具体建议。可行性研究后实施了建议。结论：本系统和研究表明，智能手表通过提供直接从手腕监控血糖、胰岛素注射、体力活动和饮食信息的更容易的方法，在糖尿病自我管理领域开辟了新的可能性。
BACKGROUND: Wearable computing has long been described as the solution to many health challenges. However, the use of this technology as a diabetes patient self-management tool has not been fully explored. A promising platform for this use is the smartwatch-a wrist-worn device that not only tells time but also provides internet connection and ability to communicate information to and from a mobile phone.METHOD: Over 9 months, the design of a diabetes diary application for a smartwatch was completed using agile development methods. The system, including a two-way communication between the applications on the smartwatch and mobile phone, was tested with 6 people with type 1 diabetes. A small number of participants was deliberately chosen due to ensure an efficient use of resources on a novel system.RESULTS: The designed smartwatch system displays the time, day, date, and remaining battery time. It also allows for the entry of carbohydrates, insulin, and blood glucose (BG), with the option to view previously recorded data. Users were able to record specific physical activities, program reminders, and automatically record and transfer data, including step counts, to the mobile phone version of the diabetes diary. The smartwatch system can also be used as a stand-alone tool. Users reported usefulness, responded positively toward its functionalities, and also provided specific suggestions for further development. Suggestions were implemented after the feasibility study.CONCLUSIONS: The presented system and study demonstrate that smartwatches have opened up new possibilities within the diabetes self-management field by providing easier ways of monitoring BG, insulin injections, physical activity and dietary information directly from the wrist.
