What is LifeSensor Diabetes?
LifeSensor Diabetes is a module that is coupled with LifeSensor for patients with type 2 diabetes.
The design of LifeSensor Diabetes (LD) is based on a specific conceptual framework. The underlying idea is that someone who suffers from diabetes can improve her health by making certain behavior changes (e.g., increasing exercise, adhering to medication plans, etc.). LD is designed to help the user to select behavior change goals and to track her progress toward that goal. To help the user understand the effects of behavior change, LD also allows the user to track certain health markers (e.g., blood glucose levels, blood pressure, HbA1c, etc.) and to set targets for these measures. Through graphs and other feedback mechanisms, the LD helps the user understand the causal link between her behavior changes and changes in the values of her health targets.

Architecture
LifeSensor Diabetes is developed in ICW's San Mateo Lab; It is highly interactive, uses AJAX and Flex technologies and is built using LifeSensor infrastructure facilities and ICW's eHF.
The LifeSensor PHR itself is built upon the ICW eHealth Framework. This framework provides lower-level infrastructure modules and libraries conforming to HL7 standards and others. The framework enables health application developers to build interoperable, cutting-edge web applications. The ICW eHealth framework consists also of a set of very powerful tools to support the complete software development lifecycle.
