Abstract

BACKGROUND: Technology can be an effective tool for providing health services and disease self-management, especially in diabetes care. Technology tools for disease self-management include health-related applications for computers and smartphones as well as the use of robots. To provide a more effective continuity of care and to better understand and facilitate disease management in middle-aged and older adult patients with diabetes, robots can be used to improve the quality of care and supplement community health resources, such as community pharmacies.
