Abstract

Imperium is a reliable diabetes management tool that simplifies diabetes care by allowing people to record and monitor their blood sugar level quickly and easily, and facilitating communication between individuals and healthcare providers. In addition to assisting with logging blood sugar readings the mobile application, offers more advanced functionality if the user wishes to use it. This includes the ability to view historical results in an array of different graphs, which allows the user to quickly identify trends, such that patterns of problematic readings can be addressed. Equally, stable readings will help to reinforce the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, which should in turn encourage the user to continue with that approach.

To facilitate communication between the user and their doctor/healthcare professional (HCP) it allows results to be shared both via email with a csv attachment directly from the App, and also by means of the external sync option. The latter allows the user to sync all recorded results from the devices local database with an external website. The doctor can then log in to this website and see real time data and advise the patient on any changes needed.

An appointments section helps the user keep track of upcoming appointments and a notification of an upcoming appointment servers as a reminder to either send or upload your latest results.

For development Visual Studio is being used and languages used are C# and XAML. SQLite is being used for the database which is stored on the devices and Microsoft Azure will host the website. The software architecture being followed is the MVVM (Model – View- ViewModel) approach allowing the GUI to be easily resized while sharing the rest of the code across different devices.
