Chronic care patients are demanding to be more actively involved in the care of their condition. Self-monitoring of blood glucose and blood pressure is strongly advocated for people with type 2 diabetes. We are developing a DI@L-log system that replaces the traditional paper logbook used by diabetes patients, enabling them to send their data to the point of care on a weekly basis using spoken dialogue technologies over the telephone. The motivation for our system is to enhance care by providing patients with a voice and therefore empowering individuals to become active self-managers of diabetes.
