New Glooko Clinic Dashboard

New Glooko Clinic Dashboard with Glooko Mobile App and Glooko TransmitterWhen healthcare professionals manage a large population of patients with diabetes, they often lack a clear, organized, and comprehensive view of patients’ pertinent health data.

To help address this challenge, we designed the new clinic dashboard in the Glooko diabetes management platform. Available in select countries, the dashboard helps healthcare providers, including primary care providers, endocrinologists, and nurses, at hospitals, health systems, and clinics streamline their diabetes population health management.

Developed for busy healthcare professionals, the new Glooko clinic dashboard is based on TIDE (Timely Interventions for Diabetes Excellence) metrics to help address the challenge of managing a large diabetes patient population. This user-friendly view provides at-a-glance insights into patient population trends and key clinic metrics, making it easier for the entire care team to interpret complex data and guide more efficient decision-making and clinic strategy.

Built on TIDE Metrics for Smarter Diabetes Care

Leveraging evidence-based risk identification logic developed by Stanford researchers to further enhance clinical insights, personalize care, and demonstrate scalable, cost-effective outcomes, the TIDE dashboard, which demonstrated in a 2022 study to reduce screen time for healthcare providers reviewing patient data by 86%, is a powerful tool designed to help clinical teams manage large populations of patients with type 1 diabetes.

The TIDE dashboard uses smart algorithms to analyze and remotely monitor data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, helping care teams efficiently and effectively manage their patients’ health. Using essential glucose measures like Time in Range and hypoglycemia, the TIDE model also prioritizes which patients need immediate attention by sorting them by clinical risk, so healthcare providers can focus on those who need it most without sifting through every patient’s data individually.

The TIDE model-based Glooko clinic dashboard offers our professional users a user-friendly way to tackle the challenge of managing a large patient population with three intuitive sections.

Understand Patient Population At-A-Glance

The Population Metrics section of the new Glooko clinic dashboard helps care teams understand the overall health and engagement of their clinic’s patient population in a centralized and concise view. This space displays the total number of patients with diabetes, identifies who is actively monitoring their blood glucose by blood glucose monitors (BGM) or CGM, and shows which patients have completed their Glooko account registration and are actively syncing their health data remotely with our connected care platform.

By centralizing these metrics, this comprehensive section of the dashboard helps healthcare providers shape clinic strategy more efficiently and better understand which patients to contact to activate their Glooko account to make more informed decisions based on synced health data.

New Glooko Clinic Dashboard's Population Metrics

Prioritize Care Based on Key CGM Metrics

The CGM Patient Risk Stratification section of the new Glooko clinic dashboard helps healthcare providers prioritize patient care and gives care teams a streamlined view of their patient population, sorted by clinical risk based on key glucose metrics from CGMs. Care teams can easily spot which patients need attention first. The dashboard ranks patients using indicators like Time in Range, Time Below Range, and other key CGM indicators, so healthcare providers can prioritize outreach and interventions based on the most important CGM data, making it easier for them to focus their time on the patients who need it most.

New Glooko Clinic Dashboard's CGM Risk Stratification

Boost Patient Engagement and Optimize Care

The Engagement Metrics module of the new Glooko clinic dashboard helps healthcare providers spot engagement gaps in their patient population over the past 90 days.

The Patient Account Status section examines the patient population to see if they’ve set-up their Glooko account based on Activated, Invited Pending, Never Invited, and Likely Duplicates. With these key metrics, care teams can quickly see which patients with diabetes haven’t completed the sync to Glooko with their diabetes and health monitoring devices as well as the activation process, allowing for more efficient follow-up and activation.

In the Sync Methods section, care teams can see how patients with diabetes are syncing their data with Glooko. When more health data is synced with Glooko from the cloud, Glooko Mobile App, Transmitter, or Uploader, care teams can make more informed and timely treatment decisions.
