GlucoTab is an innovative workflow and decision support tool for standardised diabetes management by healthcare professionals which provides automated and personalised dosage recommendations for different insulin therapy regimens.

GlucoTab has already been tested in several clinical trials in Austria and has consecutively obtained the CE-mark that is valid throughout European countries.

The current study aims to further develop, implement and evaluate GlucoTab in different European pilot regions. For this reason, GlucoTab will be translated in different languages and tested in Sweden, Denmark, and Spain.
