## Diabetes in pregnancy puts mothers and babies at risk. GDm Health can help.

Gestational diabetes is on the rise globally, and is linked to a wide range of complications for mother and baby in the short and long-term. Half of all women with gestational diabetes will go on to develop type 2 diabetes. GDm-Health was designed to help improve outcomes for women with gestational diabetes and reduce the overall cost of care.

In the UK, GDm-Health is used across 64 NHS trusts. Over half of all women with gestational diabetes in the UK are on GDm-Health.

GDm-Health was co-developed with a team of researchers at University of Oxford and has been evaluated in a randomised controlled trial and multiple real-world evidence studies.

## How it works

**Clinician portal**  
Care teams use the web-based portal to design care pathways for patients with gestational diabetes, monitor their blood glucose readings in real time and identify those who need care escalation.

**Patient app**  
Patients use a Bluetooth-connected blood glucose meter and log on to the GDm-Health app (iOS, Android) to track their blood glucose readings.

## Get started with GDm Health

**Reducing health inequalities through digital intervention**  
Gestational diabetes is deeply connected to socioeconomic and racial disparities in health: the GDm-Health platform can help to bridge the gap in maternal health outcomes by enhancing access to care.

**Scaling high-quality maternal care through digital health solutions**  
GDm-Health makes high-quality maternal care scalable by enabling clinical teams to review patients’ blood sugar in real-time: reducing unnecessary trips to the hospital and enabling those at risk to be managed closely.
