Patients can upload their data, such as glucose levels, bodyweight, blood pressure and so on measured at home or outdoors with some devices through a high‐speed internet line or telecommunication network. Physicians can review the uploaded data by the patients and send some recommendations, such as lifestyle assessment, medication change or answers to questions to the patients. The uploaded health data also can be transferred to an electronic healthcare system (EHR) in hospital, and the data can be stored with a standardized form and be exchanged with an electronic medical record system in hospital. The data in the electronic medical record (EMR) and EHR system can be analyzed with the clinical decision support system (CDSS) and a new meaning can be found, and then it can also be sent to the patients to help them control diabetes more efficiently.
