Lessons from Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in Digital Healthcare
We live in a digital world where a variety of wearable medical devices are available. These technologies enable us to measure our health in our daily lives. It is increasingly possible to manage our own health directly through data gathered from these wearable devices. Likewise, healthcare professio...
