Clinical Assistant for Remote Engagement Link (CARE-link): A Web-Based Electronic Health Records Software for Managing Diabetes
For clinicians managing gestational diabetes, this platform offers a novel approach to integrate patient data and support remote care, but it is an incremental contribution as it adapts existing LLM and web technologies to a specific clinical workflow.
CARE-link is a web-based platform that uses LLM-mediated workflows to aggregate patient-generated data, summarize clinical information, and provide decision support for managing gestational diabetes, aiming to improve monitoring and reduce in-clinic follow-ups.
CARE-link is an open-source, web-based clinical support platform designed to improve the management of gestational diabetes by linking clinicians and patients through an LLM-mediated workflow. The system aggregates patient-generated data outside the hospital, summarizes relevant clinical information, and delivers context-aware decision support to clinicians. For patients, CARE-link provides clear explanations of management plans and delivers timely lifestyle guidance through a WhatsApp interface. The integrated dual-facing design aims to promote continuous monitoring, support individualized care, and reduce the burden of in-clinic follow-ups. Built with a modular architecture, the platform can be adapted to other chronic conditions requiring longitudinal tracking and behavioral support. CARE-link has the potential to enhance clinical oversight, promote patient compliance, and strengthen continuity of care particularly in resource-constrained settings.
