Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Catholic University of Chile), Santiago – Chile According to data from the Asociación de Diabéticos de Chile (Chilean Association of Diabetics), Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a condition that affects 7.5% of the population. It causes disabilities or mortality, particularly in elderly people; however, under constant and adequate treatment, risks are significantly reduced. Given the DM2 high prevalence and serious consequences, its control and treatment are a priority for health services at a national scale. Most of the treatment of this chronic condition has to be performed by the patient himself/herself. Nevertheless, usually due to a lack of adequate education, considerable difficulties are observed to get patients to remain in treatment. Continuous and timely attention is needed, which requires among other things health centers to have communication systems available in order to enable a direct and collaborative dialogue between the patient and the health center. The IDB and the Mobile Citizen Program partners will work together with the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in the development and implementation of a mobile follow-up and communication system that will combine automated elements (text messages) with phone personal care. The project will be first be implemented in the area of Puente Alto in Santiago de Chile. ______________________________________ Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago – Chile …
