The overall goal of the grant proposal is to get funding support for a patient accessible portal which allows diabetic patients to become proactive in their health and wellness to enhance their quality of life. The portal will have various features such as interactions with physicians, ability to record health vitals, monitor health status, follow recommended lifestyle changes to improve quality of life, and alert patients before serious conditions may arise. It is anticipated that the portal will encourage the development of healthier lifestyle attitudes. Diabetes can be an expensive and deadly disease if not monitored correctly, however it is easily manageable with the right resources. Therefore, this proposal is about innovation and technological advancements to help reduce or eliminate diabetic risks. The research duration is one year with an expected sample size of 40 will be collected and samples will be taken at day 0, six months, and 1 year. There are three aims for this research project; first is to ensure continual use of the portal as the norm, improve hemoglobin and glucose levels with the use of the portal, and the reduction of readmission hospitalization rates.…
