Help reduce visits to COVID-19 patients!

SiDiary Professional significantly expands its functionalities in times of pandemic - better and easier to use for doctors and patients

People with diabetes are among the particularly vulnerable risk groups for COVID-19. At the same time, patients want and need to continue to be treated and doctors need to do the same for their patients. What could a solution to this challenge look like?

Reduce visits to the doctor - strengthen patient protection

Every visit to the doctor can become a health risk due to a corona infection. However, postponing treatment on the spot or even skipping it altogether can also have negative health consequences. The possibility of exchanging patient data with the doctor without personal contact has so far often failed due to concerns about data leaks and unwanted hacker attacks. Doctors therefore often still avoid using medical cloud software solutions.

In times of Covid-19, however, it is important for patients with diabetes to minimize visits to the doctor while ensuring that they have the latest information about their health in order to receive a well-founded medical treatment recommendation.

Particularly in times of social distancing and increased infection control measures, telemonitoring offers a simple and effective opportunity for doctors to improve their own effectiveness and patient protection at the same time. Medical software solutions with telemonitoring support general practitioners and practices specializing in diabetes care in diabetes therapy without patients having to come to the doctor's office in person.

Doctors can continue to analyze the patient's blood sugar level and insulin delivery via telemonitoring and give their patients personalized recommendations for the next therapy steps. The practice software SiDiary Professional for diabetes analysis from SINOVO health solutions (sidary.de) offers extensive advantages in this regard. SiDiary Professional is a class 1 medical device.

Contribution in times of crisis: free software with simultaneous expansion of functionality

„The corona crisis requires all of us to contribute to overcoming the current situation”, says SINOVO managing director Jan Filip. „We are therefore offering a free one-year subscription so that you can use the practice software for diabetes analysis with telemonitoring”, Filip continues.

From April 1, 2020 to July 1, 2020, doctors can use SiDiary Professional, the diabetes analysis and documentation software with telemonitoring function, free of charge for one year and on five workstations in their practice. The aim of this free offer is to support doctors and patients in surviving the current pandemic with minimized risk.

„We want to offer significant support in the current situation with the use of our software solution. That's why we've launched a campaign for doctors during the coronavirus pandemic that is easy to implement and does not tie up any financial resources”, Jan Filip continues.

This is how the advantages of such software solutions can be made more visible. The opportunity to try and test it also helps to reduce reservations. Doctors and patients should be able to boldly embrace new approaches and thus protect the well-being of all.

The parameters recorded with SiDiary Professional can be stored as raw data in a structured format (in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR) and can therefore also be used with software from other manufacturers as desired.

In addition, the functionalities of the SiDiary software have been significantly expanded and new options have been added.

Increased data security with less documentation effort

SiDiary has been given a completely redesigned connection function between doctor and patient. For the doctor, this means even more online security. All patient data now only needs a single interface for encrypted data exchange at a computer in the practice. This is done directly via SiDiary Professional. Additional tools and internet browsers are no longer required. The data is provided locally for all computers in the practice.

In addition, the time-consuming import of patient data from meters/pumps in the doctor's office is a thing of the past. Immediately after patients have read in their data or entered and synchronized it manually, it is available to the attending physician. This enables him to advise his patients, for example, by telephone.

Doctors can print an invitation to their patients to release their data from within SiDiary in order to organize this in advance. As soon as the patient has given the doctor permission to use their data, only the software for reading the data received from the patient is required.

Patients can import data from devices or the online portals of device manufacturers (diabetes apps, FGM, CGMS or CSSII) independently at home using the SiDiary patient software and then manually add to their electronic mobile logbook using the SiDiary app.

„With the new functionalities - especially with the new 'Sync Gateway' for data download - we have taken an innovative approach to medical software. For both doctors and patients, the lack of options in the past was an obstacle to opening up to software”, explains CEO Filip, describing this development step. „With the benefits of our software solution, we want to provide significant support in the current situation”, Filip continues.

In addition, doctors can access patient reports directly from the practice management system with a single click. They can then transfer the evaluated data to the system as quarterly documentation.

In the future, a single click will connect you with your patient via video conference.

SINOVO goes one step further. Doctors can conveniently start a video consultation with the patient from within SiDiary Professional. This functionality will be available in the future through our cooperation partner VitaBook, but is already fully integrated in SiDiary.

„We are sure that users will be convinced by the innovative strength and the associated benefits and added value of SiDiary Professional to this extent. Especially in times when diabetes patients are supposed to reduce their visits to the doctor, our software offers a real solution”, says CEO Filip, giving an outlook on the future of SiDiary Professional.
