QUESTION 1
There are large number of population who are getting diabetic. Since 1996, it has been
observed that there is increase in the number of diabetic patient within United Kingdom. Number
is about 1.4 million which is getting increase and are estimated to 3.5 million. There are also
many people who have not been yet diagnosed with diabetes. In present there is high
technological development can be observed which have also played their role in the medical
science. Technology has been developed within medical science. Diabetes is one of the rising
diseases which have high impact on the large population which is impacting the country health.
Technology have also their role which impact through finding various technology and option
which can be effective and allow to provide better option which can be used in the medical
science to provide better health impact and response (Seth and et. al., 2019). There is high impact
of technology which is effective in delivering of better health care to many patients. There are
many technologies which have their high role in identifying any disease, diagnose, prevention,
treatment and monitoring of patient health. This is effective and allow to get better
implementation of new technology within patient for improving the patient current health.
Technology is getting develop with time which make prevention and diagnosis and treatment
more easy and reliable (Thewjitcharoen and et. al., 2018). Through using different technology, it
allows to provide better interaction with healthcare professional to use those effective
technologies for better health treatment. Through innovation in field of technology, it allows to
provide better invention of different devices which are effective to deliver better quality of
treatment and services.
Free-Style Libre device is one of the technology which allow to monitor the blood
glucose level of individual and due to connecting with the patient smartphone, this device have
the technology to share the information about their updated health information. FreeStyle Libre
system measure glucose level which is effective and provide this information about the blood
glucose level of patient with diabetes. This measures through the small sensor which is the size
of two stacked quarters. This applied on the back of upper arm where it provides the real time
glucose reading for up to 10 days which includes day and night. This is the sensor which is
highly effective and allows to read glucose level through cloths and making test discreet along
with convenient (Al Amassi and et. al., 2017). This is the device which is highly effective and
allow to provide various critical pieces of data which is effectively scanned. This provide the
1

real-time glucose result. An eight-hour historical trend along with directional trend arrow which
show the glucose level. This has the touch screen data which is effective and allow to collect the
data up-to 90 days which is effective can track glucose level over time.
FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring system is the continuous glucose monitoring
(CGM) device which is indicative and allow to provide the information about patient blood
glucose testing along with detecting trends and tracking patterns which are aiding for the
detection of episodes of hyperglycaemia along with hypoglycaemia and able to facilitate the
long-term and acute therapy adjustments within persons. This system is intended for the single
patient use which requires prescription (Ithnain, 2020). There are many factors which are
effective and play their role in the delivery of quality services through using and innovating
different computers and audiovisual devices which have increase the availability of healthcare
services to many people. Technology is one of the factor which is effective and impact the
individual health. Through using the glucose monitoring device diabetes patient can use this
device that can allow to get better health improvement and keep monitoring their blood glucose
level at every time.
There is the implementation of this device which is effective and allow to provide the
better health impact. Through implementing this device within health care services which is
effective and allow to take care of the patient through monitoring diabetic individual which is
effective to take care of the patient with implementing this device to provide better health impact
(Oukes and et. al., 2019). There is various context for implementation of the Free- Style Libre
blood glucose monitoring device which can include cost of care, patient expectation and
changing in demographic.
There is high demographic impact which allows to provide better health impact impact
where about 28% of adults within England are affected through obesity. In this, about 68% are
men and 60% are women. People aged about 45-75 are most likely to obese. This impact the
group of people who are suffering from diabetes. Through this invention of this device it allows
the patient with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose level continuously. This can be effective
and allow to provide the information and help to patient with diabetes to take care and get better
treatment for their improved health. This is an effective device allows large population to use this
for monitoring their glucose level which can help to provide the enough information about the
changing in health (Ogawa and et. al., 2020). While using this monitoring device patient or user
