The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of telemedical care of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients with the digital treatment pathway model DiabCare Tirol. Methods: 27 courses of patients with GDM, who were telemonitored through the integrated care program DiabCare Tirol in a diabetes outpatient clinic in Tyrol, Austria during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, were analyzed. In addition, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on telemedicine interventions for GDM were researched, and their results were used for comparison with this disease management method. The patient outcome analysis was used to examine the effects of the integrated care program involving telemonitoring support and compared them to the results of RCTs in which participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups, either mobile monitored or standard treatment group. Results: The feasibility of the digital treatment pathway model was confirmed in practice, as the trend analysis of the 27 GDM patients involved showed significantly improved glycaemic control. Results of RCT studies tend to support the findings of DiabCare Tirol. Conclusion: Benefits of telemonitoring with integrated care to support conventional therapy cannot be dismissed, especially in times of the pandemic. Continuous outcome research with larger patient numbers will be necessary to confirm the effectiveness of telemonitoring in a regular care setting.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects many pregnancies and ethnicity appears to be a risk factor. Data indicate that approximately 18% of Tamil women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. Today, approximately 50,000 of Tamils live in Switzerland. To date, there is no official tool available in Switzerland that considers the eating and physical activity habits of this migrant Tamil population living in Switzerland, while offering a quick overview of gestational diabetes mellitus and standard dietetics management procedures. The NutriGeD project led by Bern University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland aimed at closing this gap. The aim of this present study was to evaluate the implementation potential of the tools developed in the project NutriGeD for dietetic counseling before their wide scale launch in Swiss hospitals, clinics and private practices. Method: An online survey was developed and distributed to 50 recruited healthcare professionals working in the German speaking region of Switzerland from October – December 2016 (31% response rate). The transcultural tools were sent to participants together with the link to the online survey. The evaluation outcome was analysed using binary logistic regression and cross tabulation analysis with IBM SPSS version 24.0, 2016. Results: 94% (N=47) respondents believed that the transcultural tools had good potential for implementation in hospitals and private practices in Switzerland. A binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the age of participants had a good correlation (42.1%) on recommending the implementation potential of the transcultural tool. The participants with age group 34- 54 years old where the highest group to recommend the implementation potential of the transcultural tool and this was found to be statistically significant (p=0.05). 74% (34 out of 50) of the respondents clearly acknowledged the need for transcultural competence knowledge in healthcare practices. 80% (N =40) of the respondents agreed that the information presented in the counseling display folder was important and helpful while 60% (N= 30) agreed to the contents being clinically applicable. 90% (N=45) participants recommended the availability of the evaluated transcultural tools in healthcare settings in Switzerland. Conclusion: The availability in healthcare practice of the evaluated transcultural tools was greatly encouraged by the Swiss healthcare practitioners participating in the survey. While they confirmed the need for these transcultural tools, feed-backs for minor adjustments were given to finalize the tools before their official launch in practice. The developed materials will be made available for clinical visits, in both hospitals and private practices in Switzerland. The Migmapp© transcultural tool can serve as a good approach in assisting healthcare professionals in all fields, especially professionals who practice in areas associated with diet - related diseases or disorders associated with populations at risk.
