MyWay Digital Health: COVID19
MyWay Digital Health (MWDH) are here to support diabetes care delivery during the COVID outbreak. People with diabetes are at increased risk of poor outcomes if infected by COVID-19. Routine diabetes care is being deferred and there is a huge risk of deterioration in diabetes outcomes due to lack of monitoring, education and complications screening during this period. MWDH can provide low-cost patient and clinician facing solutions to minimise the impact of COVID-19 on diabetes outcomes.
