METABO is an EU-funded European ICT project carried out within the 7th Framework Program devoted to the study and support of metabolic management in diabetes for both, patients and specialists. Diabetes disease is currently growing considerably among the population, reaching prevalence levels of epidemic proportions.
METABO focuses on the improvement of diabetes disease management by providing patients and medical doctors with a technological platform to help them handle and analyze all information related to diabetes treatment, integrating it with patients´ lifestyle data.
