More than 20 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes, a condition in which an individual’s blood glucose level is too high. Late last year, PAMF and its Research Institute received a $1.2 million federal grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to conduct a clinical trial on the use of personal health records and remote patient monitoring in managing diabetes – one of the most costly and prevalent chronic health conditions.
