The Councilor for Health Isidoro Miñano today accompanied the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas on a visit to the health center of San Javier where he traveled to learn about the development of a research project on a mobile diabetes control application that is carried out in San Javier with the participation of 50 patients from that center.

The health center of San Javier is, together with that of the Barrio del Carmen, in Murcia, the only two centers in the Region that participate nationally in this project with a European label called "ProEmpower", together with Turkey, Italy and Portugal.

The project, which has practical utility through subsequent implementation in European healthcare systems, aims at the definitive development of a digital tool that helps the patient to self-manage and control their disease through a direct connection with their doctor and other patients.

The application, which is installed in the mobile phone, facilitates the control and evolution of indicators such as tension, glucometer or scale "not only for the patient's own self-control but also allows the sending of data to professionals for their supervision and follow-up, "said Health Minister Manuel Villegas.

It also includes a forum or chat where patients raise and share doubts or experiences related to the disease.

The family doctor of the San Javier center, Ana Cristina Méndez who participates in this research, was confident in the outcome of the project that is already underway and will be operational one hundred percent from January.

The trial period will last until September when it will be time to study how it worked.

Finally, one of the two systems that are being tested in the participating countries will be chosen for public implementation.

The Councilor for Health, Isidoro Miñano stressed that the fact that San Javier is participating directly "in this important research and innovation project related to Health thanks to the involvement of its professional health teams that are responsible for monitoring, coordination and advice of the participants ".
