An innovative mobile application for gestational diabetes health education during the COVID-19 pandemic (Preprint)
UNSTRUCTURED In the integrated management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), health education plays an important role and directly affects patients’ blood glucose level control, pregnancy, and neonatal outcome. The rapid growth of the Internet has ushered in an era of big data and the rational use of the Internet. We developed an innovative mobile application (app) combining a teaching model of the flipped classroom and GDM management, which allows pregnant women to learn about and help prevent GDM. This app can overcome the treatment barriers for those patients that cannot go to the hospital, enhance health promotion efforts, and improve GDM management.
