This prospective cohort study aims to estimate the effect of the CloudCare application in daily practice on treatment satisfaction and emotional burden for pediatric patients and their parents/caregivers, patients' glycemic control (glucometrics), healthcare professional satisfaction, and the impact on costs. A total of 600 pediatric patients (1-15 years) with type 1 diabetes will be enrolled into the study.
This is a multi center prospective cohort study in Europe with pre- and post-measurements in type 1 diabetes with 12 months follow-up. This study will only include pediatric patients for which CloudCare is part of their (new) standard care of type 1 diabetes. Participants will be enrolled in several hospitals/healthcare organisations in Europe. Participant's data will be retrieved from their medical records and from uploaded data of their medical devices used for their type 1 diabetes treatment. The study will consist of two periods. A 3 months' retrospective period in which data will be retrieved from patients' dossier followed by a 12 months' prospective period after introduction of CloudCare as part of patients' standard care by the treating physician. The 3 months' retrospective period is the control period for the prospective period.
