Findings of a new literature analysis of the impact of telemedicine on diabetes management has been published in Telemedicine and e-Health.
The authors, from the University of Michigan and the University of Kentucky, analysed 73 research publications (selected from a potential 17,000 list) published between 2005 and 2013. They conclude that although the individual research studies varied significantly in, for example, the outcomes measured, there was sufficient evidence to point to the positive effect of telemedicine.
The full paper describes the analysis methodology and gives detailed results and would be of interest to those working in diabetes management as well as those applying telemedicine to other long term conditions.
