"Efficiency in physician offices is one of the key components of successfully providing quality care, especially in light of recent regulatory requirements for 'meaningful use' of electronic health records," said Dr. Richard Katz, professor of medicine at George Washington University Medical Center, the site of WellDoc's first integration. "Many physicians struggle with the administrative burden of their practice and find themselves strapped for time when it comes to the care of patients with diabetes. Having easily accessible, real-time data and analytics that provide insight into a patient's daily routine and eating habits will empower physicians to make the right treatment choices and positively impact not only patients, but also the healthcare system."

The WellDoc System addresses a pressing need for innovative approaches to diabetes treatment. In development for more than five years, the DiabetesManager System supports medication adherence and securely provides for the capture, storage, and real-time transmission of blood glucose data and other diabetes self-management information. This information is then analyzed by the company's proprietary Automated Expert Analytics System?„?, which identifies trends and then delivers relevant educational and behavioral patient coaching and provider decision support, thus enabling effective lifestyle and medication adjustments.
