G-DEMANDE: Monitoring Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

o  Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition that affects 2-5% of all the pregnancies and manifests itself with high blood sugar levels during pregnancy.

o  It can cause health problems for mother and child like, n  Preeclampsia, Eclampsia, n  Hyperglycemia, n  Macrosomia, and n  Diabetes type II

Problems in current Care

1.  Current treatment practices: Doctors usually see patient 2-3 times a week. In case of hyperglycemia, the patient may arrive too late.

2.  At each patient visit, the doctor sees the glucose levels and blood pressure at the very moment of the consultancy, and not the evolution of the values.

Mobile data acquisition

o  Incoming physiological patient data is a)  Stored in a database b)  Forwarded to an expert system analyzing the data

Pervasive Health System

Expert System (Golem)

o  An expert agent is monitoring the condition of one patient…

o  … and reasoning on its values

o  To scale-up the agents can be: n  distributed to different nodes; n  activated and deactivated by a

balancer; n  persisted in an agent database.
